Archaeologists have noted a network of small, rural sites in               the area around Ashkelon, Israel.  These sites that surround the                urban center first appeared in the first millenium B.C. in a                    period called Iran Age II.  At this time Ashkelon was a contested               zone between the Egyptian and Assyrian empires.                                      This project will look at the role of large competing                      empires in shaping the urban/rural system in peripheral areas.                  The student will test a model that shows how external economic                  and political control shapes a regional settlement pattern.  The                student will also, through an intensive site survey and                         excavation, attempt to understand how this system changed over                  time.
