Dever, Who Were the Early Israelites and Where Did They Come From? pp. 167–189.

N.K. Gottwald, The Tribes of Yahweh: A Sociology of the Religion of Liberated Israel, 1250–1050 B.C.E. (Maryknoll, NY: Orbis, 1979). Later, Gottwald preferred a “communitarian mode of production.” See Gottwald’s “Response to William G. Dever,” in H. Shanks, ed., The Rise of Ancient Israel (Washington, DC: Biblical Archaeology Society, 1992), p. 71.

It will inevitably be compared with Ann Killebrew’s Biblical Peoples and Ethnicity; An Archaeological Study of Egyptians, Canaanites, Philistines, and Early Israel 1300–1100 B.C.E. (Atlanta: Society of Biblical Literature, 2005), but Faust’s work is both more specific and more sophisticated.
