Abstract
The glass finds from Kerem Maharal were mostly scattered throughout the site; only a few specimens came from secure contexts. Most of the datable fragments are assigned to the Byzantine and Early Islamic periods, while several fragments were retrieved from Mamluk and Ottoman/modern strata. The repertoire is limited, comprising common daily tableware and oil lamps, remains of windowpanes and glass-jewelry items. Discarded glass debris, including two small chunks of greenish blue raw glass, indicate that a glass furnace may have operated nearby, probably during the sixth–seventh centuries CE.
