Abstract
This article deals with the chronology of the locally made Mycenaean IIIC:1b pottery in relation to the date of the imported Mycenaean IIIC pottery and the time of the Egyptian withdrawal from southern Canaan. It is suggested that the Trojan Grey Ware unearthed at Lachish Stratum VI and at Tel Miqne Stratum VIIIA is the key for the correct dating of the Philistine Monochrome pottery. The paper also criticizes I. Finkelstein's methodology, which rests partly on conclusions based on negative evidence (the not-found ergo does-not-exist principle). It suggests a revision of the dates of strata at some south and north Palestinian sites.
