Abstract
The glass finds retrieved from the excavations at I‘billin are mainly of common types dating from the Hellenistic to the Mamluk or early Ottoman periods. Area A yielded 28 diagnostic fragments dating from the Late Roman to the Umayyad periods, 3 bracelets from the Mamluk or early Ottoman period and remains of glass production. A total of 28 glass vessels were found in Area B, dating to the Late Roman–Umayyad periods, as well as a small raw glass chunk. Area C yielded the largest amount of glass vessels (n = 100), dating to the Hellenistic, Byzantine and Abbasid–Fatimid periods. The Abbasid–Fatimid assemblage is of special importance, reflecting a local production in the vicinity.
