‘Atiqot 81 (2015) ISBN 2948-040X Glass Vessels from Jerusalem Street, Safed (Zefat)  (pp. 84*–89*) Yael Gorin-Rosen Keywords: medieval period, technology, typology The glass vessels from the excavation on Jerusalem Street, Safed were retrieved from a well-dated context, in a Crusader–Ayyubid building. They were attributed to the second half of the twelfth and the thirteenth centuries CE. Beakers dominate the assemblages, accompanied by bottles and flasks. The beakers are of well-known medieval types, distinguished by their decoration: mold-blown ribs or applied prunts. This glass assemblage reflects a tradition common in medieval Europe of using glass vessels predominantly for drinking.
