Th e glass bowls which are among typical glass productions of the Hellenistic Period had a large distribution. Th e current typology on these bowls is based on the finds from Tel Anafa in Palestine where thousands of fragments were discovered. Although evidence is lacking for production these bowls in Tel Anafa, it is generally accepted that they were mainly produced in the Syro-Palestinian region. Th e production of the bowls started in the Hellenistic Period, perhaps as early as the third century BC, and fl ourished from the second century BC onwards, ending in the first century AD Early Roman Imperial Period. Th e objective of our study is to demonstrate and evaluate the finds of Hellenistic glass bowls from the acropolis trenches at Olba, both on the basis of archaeological context and current classifications. Th ree basic types of Hellenistic glass bowls - “grooved”, “ribbed” and “linear-cut” - were recorded in Olba as well as an example with an outsplaying rim which does not occur in the basic groups. According to their findspots, it can be suggested that the glass bowls in Olba were not only regular drinking-vessels in daily life, but also used as in funerary rituals such as banquets or libations. Th e achaeological data reveals that the glass bowls were in use at Olba as early as the second century BC and continued to be current until the first century AD. Th ese glass finds are important for the settlement history of Olba revealing that the occupants embraced the widespread Hellenistic culture, demanding and using its typical and uniform products.
