description Bracelets, which have an important place among the accessories or jewelry used since the Neolithic period, provide important information about the social, economic, cultural and cultural ties of the societies in their geography. Many glass bracelets from the Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk and Ottoman periods were found during excavations in Anatolia. Data from the Islamic Period, especially the Middle Ages, have only begun to be shared recently. Rich findings from the Islamic Period were unearthed during the ongoing excavations in Harran, a critical settlement center in the Southeastern Anatolia Region. In addition to the impressive architectural structures and many ceramic artifacts unearthed during excavations in the city, there are glass bracelets. Although studies have been conducted on the architectural works and ceramics in Harran, glass works and glass bracelets have not been evaluated. Therefore, a preliminary evaluation of the glass bracelets recovered between 2013 and 2023 belonging to the Harran Excavations conducted under the direction of Prof. Dr. Mehmet Önal was made in this study. These works, which will be introduced to the scientific world for the first time and will contribute to research on the glass art of the Seljuk-Ayyubid Period, have been examined according to their production techniques, dimensions, color characteristics and ornamental compositions. Additionally, an attempt was made to date it by making comparisons with contemporary and similar bracelets previously unearthed. Thus, a new study has emerged that will help understand Harran specifically or the cultures it interacts with.
