Abstract

A large quantity of glass vessels, as well as glass production debris, was retrieved from Gane Ṭal. The glass repertoire exhibits a wide range of types, including bowls, a single beaker, a wineglass, bottles, cosmetic vessels and bowl-shaped oil lamps—all well-known types of the Late Roman and early Byzantine periods (fourth–fifth centuries CE). The glass-production debris found at the site includes the remains of furnace floors and a large number of raw-glass chunks, probably indicating the manufacture of raw glass.
