Kibbutz Children Discover 2,000-Year-Old Oil Lamp
(Times of Israel) Fourth-grade students at Kibbutz Parod in the northern Galilee recently found a complete 2,000-year-old oil lamp made of clay in the ground. The Israel Antiquities Authority confirmed its age. The director of education at the IAA, Einat Ambar-Armon, said the area of Parod in ancient times was a large Jewish village. "The lamp that was revealed is a typical lamp for the Jewish settlement in the early Roman period....This is a special discovery. It is quite rare to find just a whole lamp like this."
