Abstract

The site yielded more than 2000 glass fragments, mostly dating from the eighth to the eleventh century CE. Several Early Roman (between the two Jewish Revolts) and Mamluk glass items were also recovered. This report is among the first studies of Islamic glass vessels from Lod. The assemblage comprises simple everyday vessels of local types, alongside ornamented luxury specimens, possibly imported. Besides vessel fragments, part of a stirring rod, a small trailed bead and gold-glass tesserae were found, along with small parts of rectangular, greenish blue windowpanes. The glass-production remains might attest to a local workshop.
