Keywords: techniques, industry, metallurgy, metalworking
Twenty-one metal objects, most of which are made of brass, were discovered in the excavation at Ramla, including household vessels and personal belongings. The metalware was predominantly retrieved from Area A Strata III–II, dated to the late Abbasid–Fatimid periods, attesting to the presence of metalworking professionals at Ramla in the Early Islamic period.
