Flint oil lamp.

I made a lamp yesterday with natural materials.

I had a piece of flint with a large depression I used as a well. The wick was made from dry nettles mixed with cat tail down.
Oil was olive oil but any fat would do.

Worked quite well.

A simple olive oil lamp

Kitchem roll wick. Tin foil and oil oil. A shot glass of oil burned for about hour I think.
