Eshkalonites were the inhabitants of Ashkelon, one of the five Philistine lord-cities listed in Joshua 13:3 among the territory still unconquered when Joshua was old. Ashkelon has been extensively excavated on Israel's Mediterranean coast, uncovering both Canaanite and Philistine occupation layers, including a large Philistine cemetery discovered in the 2010s that has given archaeologists direct skeletal evidence of the Philistine population.
