Abstract
To date, few syntheses have been formulated addressing glass finds in general and glass lamp-cups in particular that have been discovered from the Land of Israel across different periods. The isolation of artifacts, along with their typological characterization, contributes significantly to the ability to reconstruct behavioral models that illuminate patterns of activity and the consolidation of cognitive processes in the functional context of vessels within defined architectural complexes. This research aims to present a preliminary report of glass lamp-cups discovered in ancient synagogues in Israel, through a comparative perspective based on the behavioral analysis strategy: regional behavioural typo-morphology.
