| Summary: | The distribution of those lamps that were decorated as mentioned above are restricted (up to now) to Bet Nattif only, and the others pear-shaped lamps were restricted or also made in the southern region. This overlap more or less with that of the decorated craters with applied discs (Map 1) influenced by Parthian culture during the 3rd century CE. The fact that these un-fused oil lamps and the figurines which share decorative elements with the lamps, were not found with the moulds required for their production, it may suggest that the lamps were brought from elsewhere to be assembled for use for the Jewish population and which for unexplained reasons, was never done. It may suggest a practice from the Jewish population to keep with the Mishnaic Law (Kelim b; a and b) because its parts, especially a lamp, are pure before making a complete vessel. |
