Question

This ethnic group’s practice of placing vials of perfume at the head of graves was discovered by the 30-year-long Leon Levy Expedition in a city earlier excavated by Hester Stanhope. This group’s cylindrical loom weights and bird-decorated “bichrome ware” mark their settlement of a region that alternately names the Via Maris trade route. This group is widely identified with a group depicted wearing feather headdresses alongside the Tjeker and Denyen in the Medinet Habu reliefs. This group’s theorized (15[1])(*) Aegean ancestry (10[1]-5[1])has been corroborated by digs (-5[1])at (-5[1])Ashkelon, (10[1])which like Ekron (10[1])and Ashdod (10[1])(“ash-DODE”) was a city in their Pentapolis. (10[3])This group fought the United Monarchy after being defeated along with other Sea Peoples by Ramesses III, who called (10[1])them the Peleset. For 10 points, (10[1])name this ethnic group who, in the Hebrew Bible, worship the fish god Dagon and include Goliath. ■END■ (10[4]0[1])

ANSWER: Philistines [accept Peleset until read; or Plishtim; or Phulistieím; accept Philistia; prompt on Sea Peoples until “Sea” is read; prompt on Palestinians]
