BoR pottery begins to appear on the Phoenician mainland and Cyprus from the middle of the 10th century. The first ceramic horizon, which we can term 'Phase Γ of BoR distribution, continues from this period until the beginning of the 9th century (c.950 - c.890/880 BC). The destruction possibly caused by Pharaoh Shishak at various sites in the Levant has preserved assemblages of similar wares which were probably sealed in the last decades of the 10th century. -
