Ten seasons of excavation at Tel Anafa (at the foot of the Golan Heights
in the Upper Galilee of modern Israel) revealed the remains of a rich
and remarkably well-preserved Hellenistic settlement showing great
cultural and ethnic diversity. The richness of the finds, coupled with
the clear chronological context and careful recording techniques
employed by the excavators, have made Tel Anafa extremely valuable to
all those interested in the Hellenistic world, providing a rare
opportunity to study Greek culture in direct contact with Phoenician.
Indeed, for many bodies of Hellenistic material, Tel Anafa serves as a
typological and chronological "type site," presenting a broader and more
closely dated range of material than ever before possible. This volume
covers the glass from the excavation, including many expensive glass
drinking vessels, as well as the lamps, metal objects and stone tools
and vessels.
