The Philistine settlement-model, with the domination of large cities, and the net of small dwellings around, was paralleled to the Christaller’s “Central Place Theory”. This type of settlement was compared to the late Bronze Age city-states system in Palestine and early Iron Age Etruria. The above-mentioned analysis allows seeing cities as the main place of cultural exchange between Philistine and Canaanite cultures.plAttribution 3.0 Polandhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/pl/urbanizacjastarożytnośćIzraelPalestynaKanaanHebrajczycyFilistynihistoriaakulturacjamiastourbanistykaosadnictwokulturaurbanisationantiquityIsraelPalestineCanaanHebrewsPhilistineshistoryacculturationcityurbanismsettlementUrbanizacja Filistei i Szefeli a procesy akulturacjiUrbanization of Philistia and Shephelah, and the Process of AcculturationArticle
