ABSTRACT
The convent museum contains hundreds of artefacts, ranging across most categories of objects found on archaeological sites in Galilee. Many of the boxes of pottery, glass and smaller stone artefacts are unlabelled, and none of the worked stone objects in the Cellar, garden or court was labelled, although fortunately many were either drawn by previous investigators of the site, described in sufficient detail to be identifiable or are shown in captioned photographs in the convent archive. Some artefacts can be located using the unpublished records in the convent archive and a few have labels identifying findspots other than the area within the Cellar, even from outside Nazareth. This chapter presents both an overview of the material in the convent museum and an argument for assigning some of its unlabelled objects to the convent site. There are perhaps 21 recognisably Byzantine architectural fragments in the convent museum, although the typological dating of some of these is less certain than others.
