HANUKKAH ARCHAEOLOGY:
2,000-year-old oil lamp comes to light in City of David. While such lamps are common finds in excavations, it is "truly exciting" to dig up a Hasmonean-era artifact just before Hanukkah, archaeologists say (Yori Yalon, Israel HaYom). HT
Rogue Classicism.
Nice lamp.
If this is now the Hanukkah archaeology news, I suspect that we have seen all the big announcements for this season.
