Strata: Love That Pork
The Philistines apparently loved their pork—much more than the Canaanites who lived in the region before the Philistine arrival around 1200 B.C.E. Excavations at Ashkelon and Ekron, two cities of the Philistine pentapolis, have shed new light on the dietary staples of this enigmatic people. In the strata of the Canaanite habitation that preceded the first Philistine settlements, only 5 percent of the bones found were pig bones. With the arrival of the Philistines, the figure jumped to 20 percent.
