TOI reports that a group of children recently found a 2,000-year-old oil lamp at Kibbutz Parod in the northern Galilee region of the country, shedding light on the ancient Jewish community that lived in the area, the Israel Antiquities Authority said in a statement Monday.
IAA archaeologist Haim Mamliya noted the importance of the fact that the lamp was found outside the area of the dig.
“Discovery of the lamp may give us a clue as to how far the borders of the ancient site reached.”
