Now most of this pottery dates from around the 8th century (byzantine or ottoman period) so it is not that old...only about a 1300 years but the fact that we are still finding some fantastic samples is really extraordinary.
Then today we found something which is very unusual and not many have been found in this site and that is an intact oil lamp...
This and the gold earring is my favorite so far.
My time here in Israel is slowly coming to an end and this has been a soul enriching experience and this little oil lamp is for me a visual reminder of the promise in the bible that...
Your word is a lamp to guide me and a light for my path. (Psalm 119:105 GNT)
Indeed I can say that this has been true for me!
P.S. if you look on YouTube and search the word ... arsf...then you will find a video clip of British soldiers marching through the crusader castle during the first world war.
