“…Following Stone (1995), we believe that the above changes were part of a process of acculturation – i.e. the Philistines adopted cultural traits from other groups, but without losing their separate identity (others favour the term Creolization (Ben‐Shlomo, Shai and Maeir 2004, 20) or fusion (Uziel 2007)). Whichever term is used, the process involved a change in the symbols of Philistine identity which were used during the first phases of their settlement.…”

“…The Philistines did not lose their identity, and were not assimilated (e.g. Gitin 1998; 2004), but many of the cultural traits which had been so significant to them for so long disappeared (Stone 1995; Uziel 2007).…”

Summary The process and date of the Philistine settlement in Canaan have received a great deal of scholarly attention. As well, scholars have also devoted much attention to the expansion of Philistine interaction with Levantine societies prior to the Philistines' assimilation in the late Iron Age. While most studies view Philistine integration and acculturation as a gradual process, a close examination of the detailed faunal and ceramic evidence suggests otherwise. It appears that due to various processes of boundary maintenance, the Philistines maintained high ethnic boundaries with their neighbours for at least 150–200 years, before (quite suddenly) losing most of their unique traits in the tenth century BC.
