Abstract
The glass vessels from Khirbat Burin are mainly dated to the Mamluk period. The pre-Mamluk glass vessels are common types of the Late Roman, Byzantine and Early Islamic periods, known from other sites in the region. Meager diagnostic remains of a glass industry were found at the site as well, including glass debris and small chunks of raw glass, probably dating to the Late Roman and early Byzantine periods. The well-dated group of Mamluk vessels is rather heterogeneous, presenting a wide range of vessel types, including decorated vessels with marvered trails and a vessel with remains of enamel painting. The glass finds are contemporary with the pottery found in the same contexts, i.e., from the late thirteenth to fourteenth centuries CE.
