Abstract

The glass finds, predominantly excavated during the 2016 and 2017 campaigns, are presented here for the first time from the complex at Küçükyalı (Istanbul) on the shore of Marmara/Bithynia, which has been identified as the monumental suburban monastery of Satyros, or Anatellon, founded by patriarch Ignatios around 873/74 and which functioned until the middle of the 14th century. The finds comprise glass tesserae, round window panes and vessels, mainly lamps, beakers and bowls that might
have also been used as lamps, as well as a few flasks.
