Abstract
Most of the glass finds recovered from Area S2 of the paved Byzantine-period street, south of the Temple Mount, date to the late Byzantine–Umayyad periods. These finds include various bowls, wineglasses and bottles, many of which are decorated with applied and fused-in trails, as well as jugs, lamps, windowpanes and a single tessera. The glass vessels and artifacts are characteristic of the period, and they reflect conventions observed in other contemporaneous glass corpora from Jerusalem and its environs. Nonetheless, a multi-sided vessel with a rather uncommon design is noteworthy, as very few examples of this type have been documented in scientific excavations.
