This study looks at the Iron Age fortress at Tell el-Hesi as a borderlands site between Judah and Philistia in order to understand the cultural and political role of the site and the role it may have played in state formation in the southern Levant. I analyzed the pottery found in the construction and earliest occupation phases of the Iron Age fortress at Tell el-Hesi in an attempt to date the phases. The results of the pottery analysis and its implications are then compared with recent scholarship on the site.
