The Philistines and Other 'Sea Peoples'
General Bibliography



[see also:  Egypt and Canaan;  Philistines: further archaeological titles;  Philistines: specific cities]


Two preliminary notes
1.  While the present bibliography includes titles that discuss both textual and archaeological data, there is also a second bibliography which is more explicitly archaeological in orientation. A neat distinction between the two bibliographies is not possible; they are separated for practical reasons of length.
2.  For the most part, titles concerning the Philistines in the Iron II period are not included.

The present bibliography is divided into six sections as follows:
