N2 - In this short study, a unique fluted ceramic bowl from the Iron Age IIA Stratum A3 (late 9th century B.C.) at Tell es-Safi/Gath, Israel, is discussed. This locally made bowl has a unique shape, which is reminiscent of Phoenician and Assyrian types. It is the earliest appearance of such a bowl in Philistia, and one of the earliest in the entire Iron Age Levant. The authors argue that Phoenician, and not Assyrian influences can be seen in the bowl, evidence of the cultural and trade contact between Philistia and Phoenicia during the early Iron Age II
