Lamps found in Aizanoi from 2021-2023

Aizanoi is located in the Örencik Plain, which includes the Çavdarhisar district, in the southwestern part of Kütahya province. The earliest known history of the city dates back to the 4th millennium BCE. The city notably gained prominence through activities during the Roman Period. Traces of this development can be observed in architecture, ceramics, sculpture works, and various small finds. In this context, terracotta lamps also provide us with information about the city's history. These lamps, which can be traced from the late 2nd century BCE to as late as the 7th century CE, were examined not only in terms of their dating but also considering their production techniques and quantities. The study was conducted by evaluating these mentioned aspects, and the resulting data were presented at the end of the study, supported by visual elements.
