This project brings Australian research into the current scholarly debates on Philistine identity, a quickly growing sub-discipline in Mediterranean archaeology. Marginalized in the Bible as decadent, current research sees the Philistines as a cosmopolitan culture resulting from migration from Cyprus and the Aegean, and interaction with the local Canaanite population. In addition, Australian collaboration and interaction with Israeli colleagues and students will contribute to a more positive perception of the Jewish community in Australia, which has been the recent target of anti-Semitic activities as a result of the Israeli government's invasion of Gaza.

该项目将澳大利亚的研究带入当前关于非利士人身份的学术辩论，这是地中海考古学中一个快速发展的分支学科。在圣经中被边缘化为颓废，目前的研究认为非利士人是一个世界性的文化，来自塞浦路斯和爱琴海的移民，以及与当地迦南人口的互动。此外，澳大利亚与以色列同事和学生的合作和互动将有助于对澳大利亚犹太社区有更积极的看法，由于以色列政府入侵加沙，澳大利亚犹太社区最近成为反犹太活动的目标。
