Abstract

The excavation at Yehud yielded 272 glass shards, 82 of which were identified. Two fragments of cast glass vessels were found, dating from the Hellenistic and Early Roman periods. Most of the identified fragments date from the Late Roman and the beginning of the Byzantine period (fourth–early fifth centuries CE), including fragments of glass industry waste, probably indicating the operation of a workshop nearby.
