The Ceramic Oil Lamps from Horbat Rozez
(pp. 139–144)
Varda Sussman
Keywords: Carmel, Samaritans, menorah
Some 23 lamps were unearthed at the excavation of Horbat Rozez: one dated to the Hellenistic period, one to the Early Roman period, one to the Early Islamic period and the rest to the Byzantine period. All the Byzantine-period lamps, as well as the Early Islamic example, suggest an affinity with the Samaritan culture. The lamp assemblage from Horbat Rozez is typical of that found in other communities on Mount Carmel.
