Remains from the Late Roman to the Mamluk Periods on Djabsha Street, Old City, Jerusalem: An Early Islamic-Period Fuller’s Workshop?
(pp. 127–146)

Keywords: industry, channels, pottery
A limited salvage excavation on Djabsha Street in the Christian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem provided evidence for the occupation of the site from the end of the Roman through the Mamluk period. A small workshop was established at the site toward the end the Byzantine, or perhaps at the beginning of the Early Islamic period. It is assumed that this installation was linked with the processing of skins or cloth (tannery, laundry, dyer, etc.).
