Trends in the Local Pottery Development of the Late Iron Age and Persian Period in Syria and Lebanon, ca. 700 to 300 B. C.

Abstract

Until recently the material culture of Syria and Lebanon in the years between ca. 700 and 300 B. C. was one of the most obscure topics in Near Eastern archaeology. While the general outline of the history of events over these centuries is known to some extent, there have been only a few studies on the local material culture, the pottery, and small finds. Although a number of studies on isolated groups of finds, such as metalwork, seals, or coins, have been published, there is still no comprehensive archaeological study about this period like Ephraim Stern's "Material Culture of the Land of the Bible in the Persian Period 538-332 B. C." (1982). As a step toward providing such a study, this article outlines the local pottery development of late Iron Age and Persian period Syria and Lebanon as well as its distribution patterns and the historical and economic implications that result from these observations.
