Glass from the Tell Farma/Pelusium excavations 2003 - 2006

Abstract

The paper presents 89 selected glass fragments found during the four seasons of excavation in Pelusium, in and around the theater. They represent mostly tableware and lamps dated from the 1st century to the 7th, but most of the material is from the 5th century or earlier. It parallels the finds from the Egyptian Mediterranean coast, and shows close affinities to the glass of Syria-Palestine
