  • Roman Lamps Amy Nicholas, ‘11
    Roman Lamps Amy Nicholas, ‘11 The University of Richmond’s Ancient World Gallery contains six ancient Roman lamps. One was donated to the Richmond College Museum in 1885 by Colonel J. L. M. Curry, Confederate soldier and congressman, U.S. Minister to Spain, Trustee of Richmond College, and an ardent collector. Another was donated to the Ancient World Gallery in 1980 from the estate of Mae Keller, the first dean of Westhampton College. In 2008, Gertrude Howland donated a Late Roman lamp which she had acquired while traveling in Jordan in 1963. The others probably come from the original collection of the Richmond College Museum, but their donors are unknown. From various time periods and locations, these objects have come together to form a small, but diverse collection of ancient Roman lamps that exemplify a variety of shapes, sizes, and decorations. Oil lamps, some of the most common household items of the ancient world, were used as early as the Stone Age. Usually made of stone or clay, they were the main source of light in ancient times. Indoors, they provided general lighting throughout the household and also in workshops and enterprises. Lamps were also used outdoors at games or religious festivals and have even been found in mass quantities along streets and above doors, where they must have provided street lighting. Used in temples, they served as both sanctuary decoration and votive offerings to gods and goddesses. The main sources of lamps in modern collections, however, are from tombs. As early as the 3rd millennium BCE, lamps were placed in tombs along with other pottery and jewelry.

  • Seal Oil Lamp Coloring Sheet Activity
    UAMN Virtual Early Explorers: Light Seal Oil Lamp Coloring Sheet Discover a historical way to light homes during Arctic winter nights! In the Arctic, people have used seal oil lamps to light their homes for thousands of years. These lamps are made in a variety of shapes. Color the inside of the lamp to “fill” it with oil. Then draw a wick and a bright flame! This lamp has a crack! When this happened, people would repair the lamp so they could keep using it. Drawings from Walter Hough, The Lamp of the Eskimo, Government Printing Office, Washington, 1898: Plates 12, 14, 15, 18. UAMN Virtual Early Explorers: Light Seal Oil Lamps Seal oil lamps are important in many Arctic cultures, including the Iñupiat, Yup’ik, Inuit, and Unangan (Aleut) peoples. They were essential for survival in the winter, as the lamps provided light, warmed the home, melted water, and even helped cook food. A seal oil lamp could be the most important object in the home! Right: Sophie Nothstine tends a lamp at the 2019 World Eskimo Indian Olympics. Photo from WEIO. Left: Siberian Yup'ik Lamp from St Lawrence Island, UA2001-005- 0019. Right: Lamp from King Salmon, UA2015-016- 0003. Seal oil lamps were usually made of soapstone, a stone that can be carved and is very resistant to heat. They were sometimes made of pottery or other kinds of stone. Seal oil lamps are made in different shapes and designs to help burn the wick and make the best light possible. The lamp was then filled with oil or fat.

By the end of the eighteenth century, candles and traditional oil lamps—which had been in use since antiquity—began to be superseded by a new class of oil-burning lamps that, thanks to a series of improvements, provided considerably more light than any previous form of indoor lighting. Plant oils (Europe) or whale oil (United States) fueled these lamps until, by the middle of the nineteenth century, they were gradually replaced by a petroleum derivative called kerosene. Though kerosene lamps remained popular until well into the twentieth century (and in some places until today), by the late nineteenth century they began to be supplanted by gas and electrical lights.

  • Health Impacts of Fuel-‐Based Lighting
    THE LUMINA PROJECT http://light.lbl.gov Technical Report #10 Health Impacts of Fuel-based Lighting Evan Mills, Ph.D. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, University of California, 94720 USA October 16, 2012 Working Paper for presentation at the 3rd International Off-Grid Lighting Conference November 13-15, 2012, Dakar, Senegal Acknowledgment. This work was supported by the Assistant Secretary for Policy and International Affairs of the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231. Useful data and comments were provided by Peter Alstone, Kate Bliss, Kevin Gauna, Arne Jacobson, Dustin Poppendieck, David Schwebel, Laura Stachel, Dehran Swart, and Shane Thatcher. The Lumina Project—an initiative of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory—provides industry, consumers, and policymakers with timely analysis and information on off- grid lighting solutions for the developing world. Lumina Project activities combine laboratory and field- based investigations to ensure the formation of policies and uptake of products that maximize consumer acceptance and energy savings. For more information, visit http://light.lbl.gov Executive Summary The challenges of sustainability often intertwine with those of public health, revealing opportunities in both arenas for disenfranchised populations. A fifth of the world’s population earns on the order of $1 per day and lacks access to grid electricity. They pay a far higher proportion of their income for illumination than those in wealthy countries, obtaining light with fuel-based sources, primarily kerosene lanterns. The same population experiences adverse health and safety risks from these lighting fuels. Beyond the well-known benefits of reducing lighting energy use, costs, and pollution (which has its own health consequences), off-grid electric light can yield substantial health and safety benefits and save lives.

  • Analysis of Roman Lamps and a Decorative Lamp Holder 1
    The Refined Roman Society: Analysis of Roman Lamps and a Decorative Lamp Holder 1 The Refined Roman Society: Analysis of Roman Lamps and a Decorative Lamp Holder Submission for the Kelsey Experience Jackier Prize Cameron Barnes Student ID: 20155739 AAPTIS 277: The Land of Israel/Palestine Through the Ages Section: Spunaugle - 004 11 April 2014 The Refined Roman Society: Analysis of Roman Lamps and a Decorative Lamp Holder 2 In the words of John R. Clarke (2003), “the Romans were not at all like us” (p. 159). Illuminating the rift between modern customs and those of ancient Rome are the characteristics of two ancient discoveries, which even today convey the nuances of their respective cultural and historical contexts: a terracotta lamp and a bronze lamp holder accompanied by two bronze lamps. In the former artifact, the inscription of a lurid sex scene shocks the modern voyeur, unsuspecting of such a display on an object appearing to be of primarily utilitarian and domestic purposes. Upon the latter objects, intricate bronze craftsmanship speaks of innovative manufacturing techniques while the symbolic presence of owl, dormice, and frog figurines hint at the rich cultural exchange that occurred during the Roman Period. In this essay, I will analyze the manufacturing process, use, and artistry evinced by the aesthetic of selected Roman lamps and a Roman lamp holder in order to compare and contrast the objects while shedding light on the broader cultural context they attest to. The incorporation of artistic detail into the fabrication of these ostensibly functional appliances illustrates the sophistication of Roman society as well as the socioeconomic and cultural motifs of the Roman Period.

INTRODUCTION Crop plants are our greatest heritage from prehistory (Harlan 1992; Diamond 2002). How, where, and when the domestication of crops plants occurred is slowly becoming revealed although not completely understood (Camp et al. 1957; Smartt and Simmonds 1995; Gepts 2003). In some cases, the genetic distance between wild and domestic plants is so great, maize and crucifers, for example, that their origins are obscure. The origins of the ancient grains (wheat, maize, rice, and sorghum) and pulses (sesame and lentil) domesticated in Neolithic times have been the subject of intense interest and the puzzle is being solved with the new evidence based on molecular biology (Gepts 2003).
