A TYPOLOGICAL-MORPHOLOGICAL SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF POLYCANDLEON GLASS LIGHTING GOBLETS FROM THE ROMAN PERIOD IN ISRAEL: SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION AND CHRONOLOGICAL MOVEMENT AROUND THE MEDITERRANEAN BASIN
Abstract
The arrival of the glass vessels dating to the Roman period from Israel and other areas around the Mediterranean basin indicate a slow process of acceptance of the vessels made of a different material - which was not widely used in everyday life. It turns out that in Israel, as well as in other regions, the main use of the light cups was made in grave complexes. In a gradual manner, the use also expanded to other levels of life, which is expressed in the diverse presence of the tools in various building complexes. Since the Roman period, two main types of goblets are known: suspended and placed, with the more common being the suspended lighting goblets. It is evident that the main center of distribution of glass vessels in general and of glass goblets of light in particular is from Israel and alongside the distribution of these the process was accompanied by a conceptual distribution of the modes of use as accepted in the original distribution area. The research method that will be used in this framework is the method called: "Regional behavioral Tipo-morphology" - that makes use of the tools that were discovered on site and examines them in a comparative manner against circles of use within the site, in the vicinity of the site and through spatial examination circles that are growing in size.
