New Light on Canaanite-Phoenician Pottery
ID: 2688 - View Book Page - Edit In OJS
This book follows a continuous line of development from Canaanite pottery to the Phoenician pottery corpus. Phoenician pottery typically is considered to have first emerged in the Iron Age, and most research is limited to the first half of the first millennium BCE. The current analysis, however, shows the Canaanite predecessors as well as the ongoing continuity of Phoenician forms and techniques during the Hellenistic and Roman periods. There are two areas of focus, both of which will be illustrated from materials drawn primarily from the Levant. The first is Phoenician container products, especially amphorae and bottles, although other coarse ware forms are included. The second is red-slip pottery, which was a constant feature of the Phoenician assemblage. These were mainly open vessels that did not contain other products and were valued for their ritual attributes.

Reviews
This is a daring and challenging new book that bravely takes up the task to examine and reassess CP pottery in the longue durée.
The Classical Review
The book offers a rich survey of pottery forms and wares hypothetically or actually related to the Canaanite-Phoenician repertoire. The very term “Canaanite-Phoenician” is fully justified in the light of archaeological data, although it is not necessarily to be extended to include material from the western Phoenician (“Punic”) sites. New ideas presented by Regev, be they acceptable or controversial, provide plentiful material for potential discussion.
