Archeology 201 Guidelines
If Indiana Jones happened to be a member of Tweb, this is where he'd hang out.
Welcome to the Archeology forum. Were you out doing some gardening and dug up a relic from the distant past? would you like to know more about Ancient Egypt? Did you think Memphis was actually a city in Tennessee?
Well, for the answers to those and other burning questions you've found the right digs.
Our forum rules apply here too, if you haven't read them now is the time.

But wasn't virtually every kingdom, except maybe for the most isolated, xenophobic ones, involved in international trade?

One complication I see in retrospect is the question Phoenician or Canaanite?

No, the Hebrews were not until maybe after 600 BCE.
Several major ancient trade routes went through the land including the so-called Via Maris and the King's Highway, which connected Egypt, Mesopotamia and Anatolia. It is inconceivable that absolutely no trading took place as merchants and their caravans passed through.
Finally, the "Curse Tablet" recently found at Mount Ebal contains the earliest example of written Hebrew including the tetragrammaton YHWH, dates from the 13th century B.C. and is written on lead that came from Greece. Seems like there was some trading going on.

You could read Anne Killibrew's chapter in The Oxford Handbook of the Phoenician and Punic Mediterranean. Google Books have kindly provided the entire chapter gratis!

Maris and the King's Highway, which connected Egypt, Mesopotamia and Anatolia. was mainly a coastal trading route connecting Egypt to the North, By far the overwhelming dominant trade was Phoenician/Canaanite and Egyptian trade until the 9th century.
