Abstract

The 320 glass fragments from the excavations at Khirbat ‘Adasa represent types dating from the Hellenistic, Early and Late Roman, late Byzantine–early Umayyad, Abbasid–Mamluk and Ottoman periods. The finds from the late Byzantine–early Umayyad periods are familiar from other contemporary settlements in the vicinity of Jerusalem. They include fragments of a rectangular window and evidence of glass production. The finds from the Abbasid period are the only published corpus from this time span in the region and includes bottles, some with a mold-blown pattern, and a tube.
