Keywords: necropolis, cemetery, burial goods, burial rituals, mourning ceremony
The excavations at Ketef Hinnom yielded 347 glass fragments, including a large amount of Ottoman-period and modern glass. The Roman-period glass fragments date to the first–early third centuries CE, including two bowls, a beaker, a jug, candlestick bottles and a small cosmetic bottle. A significant find is a rare, mold-blown ‘Sidonian’ juglet. The few glass finds that can be associated with the Byzantine period comprise a wineglass, an oil lamp, two small glass tesserae and several windowpane fragments.
