Workshop Dixon/Killebrew
The ICAANE organization committee wishes to issue an official correction
Hanan Charaf was asked to be a co-chair of the “Northern Phoenicia” session with Helen Dixon, but was not a co-organizer of the workshop listed in the program under the title “Phoenicians in Phoenicia”. This general theme contained two separate sessions. As of Friday, she has declined to serve as co-chair of the “Northern Phoenicia” session.
Phoenicians in Phoenicia: New Directions and Recent Discoveries
Organizers: Helen Dixon (Wofford College) / Ann E. Killebrew (Pennsylvania State University)
Abstract
This workshop explores ongoing and rapidly increasing archaeological research in the Phoenician Levantine homeland, geographically spanning the coastal regions of the modern states of Syria, Lebanon, and northern Israel. This new evidence is reshaping our understanding of Phoenician religion, daily life, industries, commerce, economy, history, and culture during the Iron Age through the Persian period (ca. 1000 – 300 BCE). Papers will focus on the ways in which new discoveries are transforming the conventional academic picture of Phoenicia and will highlight areas where methods or research questions can be productively redirected. The workshop will comprise two sections: The first session will focus on archaeological and synthetic work from the Northern Levant (Lebanon and Syria), while the second session will address Phoenician sites in the Southern Levant (Israel). While the aims of the sessions are to share recent and especially yet-unpublished findings and researches, the ultimate goal of the workshop is to integrate ongoing work from the entire Phoenician coast to reconstruct a trans-regional holistic picture, with implications for the archaeology, history and, religion of the wider eastern Mediterranean.
