Abstract

A group of vessels with Phoenician characteristics stands out in the pottery assemblage of Stratum II at Tel Beersheba. Petrographic analysis indicates that many of the vessels in this group were manufactured along the Lebanese coast. This attests to the existence of trade relations between Phoenicia and Judah. It seems, though, that this commercial activity took place only in the later phase of the Iron IIB, during the final decades of the 8th century BCE, and that it may be related to the opening of the ‘Sealed kāru of Egypt’ by Sargon II.
