description Abstract: The Pig’s Testimony. Archeological excavations in Israel have revealed a succession of sites from the end of the Late Bronze Age to the end of the Iron Age II (from the middle of the 13th century BCE to 586 BC), which have been defined by archeologists as Israelite. One of the characteristics of these sites is the unique zoo-archeological evidence. In some of the settlements archeologists found a very small amount of pig bones, while at other settlements they found none whatsoever. The picture differs in sites defined as non- Israelite, such as the Philistine settlements. In these pig bones reach 5 to 18 percent of the total, compared to zero to a few tenths in Israeli settlements. Assuming that these findings indicate that the eating of pork was abstained from in Israelite settlements, I will discuss the following questions: Why did the Israelites abstain from eating pork? What can this custom indicate regarding the Israelites’ origins?
