| 總結: | In this contribution, we examine the custom of depositing lamps concealed between two bowls in a practice that became prevalent in the Southern Levant during the Late Bronze Age and persisted into the early Iron Age. Through meticulous examination of eleven such deposits unearthed at Tel Azekah, we elucidate the chronological evolution of this practice and its constituent elements. This investigation prompts a discussion of the role of the practice in architecture-related rituals and the contextual factors contributing to its inception in the days of Egyptian colonialism and its endurance up to the Iron IIA. |
