Abstract
The 2018–2020 excavations in Rooms 8, 21 and 22 in Jerusalem’s Western Wall Tunnels yielded glass finds dated mostly to the Roman, Byzantine, Early Islamic and Mamluk periods. Noteworthy among the Early Roman period vessels is a bichrome piece adorned with opaque-white flecks, of a type rarely found in excavations. This fragment, and a similar piece from the Jewish Quarter, probably belonged to imported modioli, attesting to the affluence of Jerusalem’s inhabitants in the Early Roman period.
