Editing Oil lamp (section)

===Iron Age (1200–560 BC)===
During the [[Iron Age]], lamp rims become wider and flatter, with a deeper and higher spout. The tip of the spout is more upright in contrast to the rest of the rim.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Biran|first1=A.|last2=Gopna|first2=R.|title=An Iron Age Burial Cave at Tel Ḥalif|year=1970|journal=Israel Exploration Journal|publisher=Israel Exploration Society|volume=20|number=3|pages=156–169|jstor=27925230}}</ref> The lamps are becoming variable in shape and distribution, although some remain similar to lamps from the Late Bronze period. In addition, other forms evolve, such as small lamps with a flat base and larger lamps with a round base. The later form continues into the [[Iron Age II]].

In the later Iron Age, variant forms appear. One common type is small, with a wide rim and a wide base. Another type is a small, shallow bowl with a thick and high discus base.
