Abstract

Seventeen complete vessels and 43 complete oil lamps were retrieved from the undisturbed burial cave at ‘En Lavan. The assemblage is homogeneous, dating to the Byzantine–Early Islamic periods (fourth–late seventh/early eighth centuries CE). The oil lamps are decorated with Christian motifs, such as Greek inscriptions and crosses, clearly indicating that the burial cave was used by a Christian population.
