• Primary glass groups in the Mediterranean (between the 4th and 9th centuries):

– Levantine I:
-Palestinian production during the Byzantine period, made using the sands of the Levanitne coast;
- characteristics: high lime;
- examples: assemblage at Jalome (4th century), chunk and vessel glass from Apollonia, Dor, Bet Shean (6th and 7th century).

- products of the glass factory near Hadra (being utilized by the early 8th century, displaced Levantine I production by that time);
- characteristics: relatively high alumina.

- characteristics: relatively low lime and high alumina (origin in the furnaces of the Wadi Natrun).

– Egypt group II:
- characteristics: high lime and low alumina (8th and 9th centuries);
