Abstract:
Excavations within the French Hospital Compound provided a large quantity of both complete and fragmentary oil lamps dating from the Byzantine period (fifth–seventh centuries CE) and an additional group of lamps dating from the Early Islamic period (Abbasid period; eighth–tenth centuries CE). The Byzantine-period oil lamps included local, regional and imported types. The largest group of Byzantine-period oil lamps belong to Caesarea Type 1 (archetype and two variants) and are decorated with diverse patterns. The second-most common group of Byzantine-period oil lamps is the Candlestick type. The rich variety of both regional and imported oil lamps reflects the role of Yafo as an important anchorage along the marine trade route, connecting the Roman and Byzantine East.
