概要
The source provides an extensive overview of ancient animal fat lamps as a crucial technology preceding the widespread use of candles. It chronicles the historical evolution of these lamps from simple Stone Age containers to sophisticated metallic designs in the medieval period, covering a vast timeline from roughly 40,000 BCE to 1000 CE. The text details the technical advancements in lamp design, such as the shift from open stone vessels to enclosed, mass-produced ceramic lamps with specialized wick nozzles, particularly in Greco-Roman civilizations. Furthermore, the source employs a global perspective, examining the geographic distribution and cultural significance of these lamps across regions like the Mediterranean, East Asia, Mesopotamia, and the Arctic, where distinct animal fats (like tallow, lard, and whale oil) were utilized for illumination, religious ceremonies, trade, and military applications. Overall, the document emphasizes the profound societal and economic impact of animal fat lighting, which extended human activity into the night and spurred technological and cultural development.
