AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Using archaeological evidence, this work examines how Phoenician-controlled, long-distance maritime trade influenced the economy and regional specialization in Ancient Judah. Different zones were dedicated to one of the three major export crops—wheat, olives and grapes—according to environmental suitability and transportation costs. The authors argue that Judah was part of an economic sphere centered on the Phoenician port of Ashkelon.
