Abstract
In an attempt to model a site-specific archaeological approach to Judean Pillar Figurines, this chapter uses archaeological data from Jerusalem to test dominant interpretations and to suggest a more nuanced approach to figurine ritual in the Judean capital. First summarizing the most common interpretations applied to the JPFs, the chapter then explores various aspects of Jerusalem archaeology to test the validity of current interpretations and to highlight the importance of the figurine production industry and regional variability.

This interdisciplinary volume is a ‘one-stop location’ for the most up-to-date scholarship on Southern Levantine figurines in the Iron Age. The essays address terracotta figurines attested in the Southern Levant from the Iron Age through the Persian Period (1200–333 BCE). The volume deals with the iconography, typology, and find context of female, male, animal, and furniture figurines and discusses their production, appearance, and provenance, including their identification and religious functions. While giving priority to figurines originating from Phoenicia, Philistia, Jordan, and Israel/Palestine, the volume explores the influences of Egyptian, Anatolian, Mesopotamian, and Mediterranean (particularly Cypriot) iconography on Levantine pictorial material.
