## Image Caption

Following their settlement in the Levantine coast at the beginning of 12 century BCE, the [Philistines](https://www.worldhistory.org/Philistines/) began to produce a local variant of the [Mycenaean pottery](https://www.worldhistory.org/article/455/mycenaean-pottery/) known as "[Mycenaean](https://www.worldhistory.org/Mycenaean_Civilization/) IIIC1B". Initially, this was quite simple in its designs and was largely confined to open vessels, bowls, and kraters. This sherd belongs to this early style. 12th to 11th century BCE. From Beth Shemesh (Beit Shemesh), modern-day [Israel](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Israel/). (The British Museum, London)
