Glass Finds from the Abbasid–Fatimid Periods on Danny Mass Street, Ramla
(pp. 59–67)
Natalya Katsnelson
Keywords: Early Islamic period, chronology, typology, glass production
The glass finds retrieved from Danny Mass Street, Ramla include common tablewares, luxury vessels and a mosaic-glass eye bead. They form a diagnostic assemblage spanning the late eighth–early eleventh centuries CE. This assemblage provides a new insight into the glass assemblage of the city during the Abbasid and Fatimid periods. The uniformity of fabric within the assemblage suggests that many of the vessels may have been produced in the same workshop.
