The Shephelah and Jerusalem's western border in the Amarna period

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

The article deals with several topics related to the situation in southern Canaan in the Amarna period: the number of city-states in the Shephelah; multiple skirmishes along the border between the Shephelah polities and Jerusalem, which may attest to expansion attempts of the latter; 14th century BCE destruction layers at several sites in the region; and the nature of Egyptian rule during this period.
