16-year-old Israeli student, Yonatan Frankel, discovered a 1,600-year-old Roman-era oil lamp during his high school's annual trip in southern Israel. The lamp, dating back to the 4th-5th centuries CE and produced in Petra, Jordan, was found by Yonatan while examining stones at the Late Roman fort of Mezad Tzafir. His teacher and guide subsequently passed the artifact to an archaeologist from the Israel Antiquities Authority.
