Abstract

The glass finds presented in this article—the catalog encompasses 200 pieces constituting a representative selection of tableware, lamps and windowpanes—span a time from the 1st century through the 9th, corresponding to the Roman, Byzantine and early Islamic/Abbasid periods in Jordan. The assemblage derives from 15 months of uninterrupted fieldwork, carried out within the frame of the Jerash International Project run by the Department of Antiquities of Jordan between October 1982 and the end of 1983, at two locations within the ancient urban site in Jerash, the ancient Gerasa. These locations were: a residential area by the South Decumanus and a small church founded by Bishop Marianos in the vicinity of the Hippodrome and Hadrian’s Arch.
