The Early Islamic Glass Finds from Khirbat el-Thahiriya
(pp. 57–72)
Ruth E. Jackson-Tal
Keywords: glass production, typology, decoration
The glass vessels unearthed in this excavation represent well-known types of Early Islamic-period tableware—bowls, wineglasses, bottles, jars, a jug, oil lamps, alembics, a spoon and windowpanes—some plain and others decorated in various techniques. The simple vessel shapes and the considerable number of lamp bowls and windowpanes support the identification of this site as a rural public building.
