Glass Finds from the al-Wata Quarter, Safed (Zefat)
(pp. 153–157)
Natalya Katsnelson
Keywords: Galilee, glass production
A relatively small amount of glass was found during a trial excavation conducted in the Mamluk and Ottoman residential quarter of Hâret al-Wata in Safed. The corpus comprises several fragments of blown vessels and a few tooled bracelets. This assemblage of common household wares can be attributed to the Mamluk period. The bracelets probably also date to the same period, although they may be later, up to modern times. The glassware was probably locally produced.
