This ninth archaeological report of the Leon Levy Expedition presents a comprehensive examination of the material remains of Ashkelon's Hellenistic-period occupation. Drawing upon the expertise of a diverse range of specialists, the report utilizes the evidence from Ashkelon's material record to address broader economic, cultural, and political questions of the Hellenistic era.

Spanning from dense urban neighborhoods to monumental public spaces, this volume offers a comprehensive survey of the city's architecture and a detailed analysis of its ceramic assemblage, complemented by specialized studies on coins, botanical and faunal remains, and small finds. It provides a reconstruction of Ashkelon's historical trajectory and economic networks, exploring the material evidence for cultural and political influence throughout the Ptolemaic, Seleucid, and early Roman empires.

In its exploration of Ashkelon's transition from a Phoenician city under Persian rule to a nominally Greek city under the Ptolemies or Seleucids, this report offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics of the Hellenistic world. Comprising over twenty-six chapters authored by esteemed experts in the field and accompanied by a wealth of detailed color and black-and-white illustrations, Ashkelon 9 serves as a vital contribution to the study of Hellenistic archaeology in Israel. It will be of immense value to archaeologists, biblical scholars, and Hellenists with a specialization in this period, both in Israel and the broader Mediterranean region.

Contributors to this volume include Donald Ariel, Deirdre N. Fulton, Omri Lernau, John M. Marston, and Anastasia Shapiro.
