In the course of the past century, excavations in Palestine have
turned up large numbers of oil lamps. This first volume in a
planned catalogue raisonne, summarizes the typological development
of Palestinian oil lamps from the earliest such items of the Late
Chalcolithic period onward, and their historical, cultural, and
political contexts. The abundance and great variety of the material
make this, a difficult undertakingparticularly for the oil lamps of
the earlier periods dealt with in the present volume. Detailed
descriptions of many items in the collections of the Israel
Antiquities Authority, as well as of recorded oil lamps from other
sites and neighboring regions, serve here as a basis for
generalizations and conclusions.
