The Glass Finds from Khirbat el-Batiya (Triangulation Spot 819) (Hebrew, pp. 29*–36*; English summary, pp. 198–199)
Yael Gorin-RosenFragments of gold-glass tiles were retrieved from the excavation, together with well-known vessel types from the late Byzantine–Early Islamic periods. It is the first time that gold-glass tiles were found in situ. The glass vessels include a beaker/bowl, wineglasses and a bottle, as well as an exceptional mold-blown cosmetic flask from medieval times. The gold-glass tiles were probably part of the decoration of the Stratum I building, which was connected with a monastery or a church.
