"Ancient Canaan" as a book category covers the history, archaeology, languages, religions and everyday life of the ancient Levant — roughly the coastal and inland regions of modern Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan and southern Syria — from the late Neolithic through the Bronze and Iron Ages (approximately the 3rd–1st millennium BCE). It includes academic and popular works on city-states, trade and economy, material culture and excavation reports, epigraphy and texts (Ugaritic, Phoenician, Amarna letters), and the interactions with neighboring powers (Egypt, Hatti, Assyria) as well as the peoples traditionally associated with the region (Canaanites, Phoenicians, Philistines, early Israelites). The category also embraces comparative religious and mythological studies of Canaanite deities and rituals, plus historical fiction and narrative reconstructions that imagine daily life, politics and conflicts in that ancient setting, making it useful to scholars, students and general readers interested in the origins and cultural landscape of the ancient Near East.
