Abstract
The glass assemblage from the 2007 excavation at eṭ-Ṭuweiri, was studied in comparison to the previously published assemblage from the 2004 excavation at the site. Most of the finds from the 2007 excavation were retrieved from the winepress in Area A, whereas only a few items were discovered in Area B. The assemblage consists mainly of wineglasses, bottles and oil lamps, alongside decorated vessels, windowpanes, a stirring rod and glass tesserae. Both excavations yielded the remains of glass production, likely associated with a local manufacturer that may have been involved with the construction of the nearby church uncovered in 2004. The glass artifacts from both excavations faithfully represent the regional glass repertoire of the Byzantine and Early Islamic periods.
