Roman Burial Caves South of Tel Yavneh and Roman Iamnia Town Limits
This study examines two clusters of Roman burial caves located approximately 1 km south of Tel Yavneh, forming part of a necropolis on the town’s southern perimeter. The first cluster, excavated in 1962 on Beth Gamliel hill, comprises eight rock-cut caves of loculi and arcosolia types, while the second, uncovered in 2022 in Area D, includes three caves adapted from earlier Intermediate Bronze Age shaft tombs. Analysis of architectural features, s…

Roman Glass Windowpanes in Context
Exotic glass types and the intensity of recycling in the northwest Quarter of Gerasa (Jerash, Jordan)
Major and trace elements are presented for 149 glass fragments ranging in date from the Roman to Early Islamic periods (1st – mid-8th centuries CE), excavated during the Danish-German Jerash Northwest Quarter Project's fieldwork between 2011 and 2016. The results confirm a clear dominance of Levantine glass types, but also reveal 12 glasses of Egyptian and Mesopotamian compositions recovered from two houses destroyed by the major earthquake which…
Between Rulers and Rebels
Herodium is located some 12 km from Jerusalem on the border between Judea and Idumea. It is the final resting place of King Herod the Great but also served as a royal palace, centre of government, defensive structure, and monument. This paper aims at presenting the glass finds from the excavations at the mountain palace-fortress conducted at the site by the late Gideon Foerster and especially by the late Ehud Netzer and, after his demise, by the …
Hellenistic vitreous finds from Seleucid Tell Iẓṭabba
This article publishes artefacts unearthed in the framework of the German-Israeli Tell Iẓṭabba Excavation Project. It analyses and discusses faience and glass artefacts recovered during recent field seasons at the site known as the Seleucid-founded town of Nysa (Scythopolis), located in the Beth She’an National Park. In addition to analysing a Bes/Udjat eye amulet, the first, so far, from the Levant from a well-secured Hellenistic context, it off…
Roman and Byzantine Burials at Yavneh-Yam
This paper discusses Roman and Byzantine tombs and burial caves at Yavneh-Yam (the harbor site of ancient Iamnia) excavated in the 1960s and 1980s. It focuses on the finds recovered during these excavations as a means to enhance our knowledge on the site’s social and religious history vis-à-vis the inhabited site’s recent excavations and studies. More specifically, the discussed funerary remains reflect the changes in the site’s social compositio…
The glass from the 1995 excavations in Camp F at Masada
Camp F at Masada, southern Judea, is part of the siege works constructed by the Roman Army against the Jewish rebels during the Jewish Revolt. It is divided into two areas and chronological stages: the larger outer Camp F1, is dated to the time of the siege against Masada, until its fall in 73/4 AD and the inner Camp F2, is dated between 106 and 113 AD or even later in 115–117 AD A group of luxury and common mostly drinking vessels were discovere…
Glass Vessel Use in Time of Conflict
This article concentrates on the overall analysis of the glass vessel finds, some published here for the first time, recovered in numerous excavations and surveys in refuge caves, in Judaea, Israel. These caves were used by Jewish refugees fleeing the Roman army in the late stages of the Bar Kokhba revolt in 135/136 C.E. The glass vessels consist mostly of daily bowls, beakers, jars, bottles, and jugs. However, a few luxury vessels, such as the r…
