Abstract :The Hellenistic period is usually regarded as the phase in which lamp production intensified. This is because mold technique started to be more frequently used along with the wheel production. In his study on the Corinth lamps, Oscar Broneer divided the Hellenistic lamps into two groups: wheelmade lamps and mould-made lamps. Broneer 1930: 2 . The most typical feature of the lamps used in the 3rd century BC is the closing of the upper part and the prolongation of the edge. In this type of lamps, the rim is either cut or circular in form; the body is double-tampered or flattened on both ends Tuluk 1996: 75, Lev 2. .Keywords : Lamp, Mould-Made Bowl, Hellenistic, Boubon, Burdur Museum
