way of purchasing and confiscation at various times are evaluated. Most of the lamps are made of bronze and manufactured in casting technique. Very few samples made of brass constitute the most elaborated artifacts in the metal lamp inventory of the Burdur Museum. There are only few lamps belonging to the Hellenistic Period, the majority of them date to an extended period from the 2nd century BC to the 7th century AD. It has been determined that the Roman lamps were replicated in just few significant forms. These samples show typological similarities with terracotta lamps both in nozzle and body forms. Although the Late Antiquity and Byzantine lamps were replicated according to the basic forms, they are of lower quality than the Roman samples. However, it has been observed that the Late Antique samples are followed-up of the Roman forms. Various difficulties have been encountered in the determination of a typology since the obtained lamps came from unknown contexts and there are very few comprehensive studies about metal lamps. However, it was possible to determine few groups in terms of form, especially amongst the Roman and Late Antique metal lamps, which by means of the obtained samples come from one distinct cultural area.
