Did the Sea Peoples trigger the transition from Bronze to Iron in Jordan?
In short: Archaeologist James Pritchard excavated Tell es-Sa'idiyeh in the Jordan Valley between 1964 and 1967. This film documents his findings at a site that served as a cultural crossroads during a pivotal technological shift, a project ultimately interrupted by the outbreak of the 1967 Six-Day War.
Pritchard's excavations at Tell es-Sa'idiyeh, located on the east bank of the Jordan River, uncovered evidence of a meeting point for diverse cultures. His research focused on the transition from the late Bronze Age to the Iron Age, a period he linked to the influence of the Sea Peoples.
These findings were later discussed in his 1968 work, 'The Role of the Phoenicians,' which explored the impact of these migrations on Canaan. The archaeological work at the site spanned from 1964 until 1967, when the Six-Day War forced an end to the project.
