Abstract

The excavations on Jerusalem Boulevard in Yafo yielded about 40 glass objects. The major finds are medicine bottles, medical ampules and cosmetic or perfume containers, dating from the end of the nineteenth to the first half of the twentieth centuries (British Mandate). Inscriptions on the bottles indicate that there existed a pharmacy on-site. This glass repertoire highlights an aspect of daily life in Palestine at the beginning of the twentieth century.
