File:Canaanite City States In The Bronze Age.svg

Собственная работа

The 20 cities selected for the Southern portion of the map are from The Southern Levant (Cisjordan) during the Late Bronze Age (2013) by Nava Panitz-Cohen (University of Jerusalem):

Attempts to reconstruct the number of city-states and particularly to define the nature of their borders, have resulted in conflicting views, ranging from a number of 13–14 (Finkelstein 1996), or 17–18 (Bunimovitz 1989: 131–62), to 22–27 (Helck 1971; Gonen 1992b: 214; Na’aman 1997; Falconer and Savage 2003). A proposed modus vivendi is the round number of c.20 suggested in wake of the recent petrographic study of the Amarna tablets (Goren, Finkelstein, and Na’aman 2004: 320). The different evaluations are based on variable definitions of what constitutes a city-state (Hansen 2000), as well as on the question whether there was a ‘no man’s land’ or fuzzy border between them (Na’aman 1997: 606–7) or whether it was a tightly organized system with no sparsely inhabited or poorly controlled border zones (Finkelstein 1996: 225–6; Goren, Finkelstein, and Na’aman 2004: 322).

For a different selection of cities, copied from Finkelstein's The Forgotten Kingdom: The Archaeology and History of Northern Israel see this map: File:CarteCanaanAuBronzeRécent.jpg.

For the Northern portion, I used the map below, removing all cities that did not existed in the Bronze Age.
