The Byzantine-Period Glass Vessels from Horbat Rozez
(pp. 145–155)
Tamar Winter
Keywords: coastal plain, Carmel, glass production
About one thousand small glass fragments were found at Horbat Rozez, ninety percent of which were associated with the Byzantine period. Most of the vessels were free-blown, a few were mold-blown. The vessel group from Horbat Rozez continues Late Roman traditions, generally dating from the mid-fourth to the late sixth centuries CE. The assemblage is domestic, typically undecorated, comprising mostly bowls and bottles. Noteworthy are a large goblet and

juglets. A deformed glass vessel and two glass-production wasters might attest to a local glass workshop at the site.
