racteristics of roman pottery
the pottery of ancient romans is remarkable in veral ways. the high quality of roman pottery is very easy to appreciate when handling actual pieces of table ware or indeed kitchenware and amphorae(the large jars ud throughout the mediterranean for the transport and storage of liquids, such as wine and oil). however, it is impossible to do justice to roman wares on the page, even when words can be backed up by photographs and drawings. most roman pottery is light and smooth to the touch and very tough, although, like all pottery, it shatters if dropped on a hard surface. it is generall made with carefully lected and porified clay, worked to thin-walled and standardized shapes on a fast wheel and fired in a kiln(pottery oven) capable of ensuring a consistent finish. with handmade pottery, inevitably there are slight differences between individual vesls of the same desigh

occasional minor blemishe(flaws). but what strikes the eye and the touch most immediately and most powerfully with roman pottery is its consistent high quality.
le it, they often comment on how modern it looks and feels, and they need to be convinced of its true age.

英语四级听力材料 as impressive as the quality of roman pottery is its sheer massive quantity. when considering quantities, we would ideally like to have
some estimates for overall production from particular sites of pottery manufacture and for overall consumption at specific ttlements. unfortunately, it is in the nature of the archaeological evidence, which is almost in variably only a sample of what once existed, that such figures will always be elusive. however, no one who has ever worked in the field would quenstion the abundance of roman pottery, particularly in the mediterranean region. this abundance is notable in roman ttle
ments(especially urban sites)where the labor that archaeologists have to put into the washing and sorting of potsherds (fragments of pottery) constitutes a high proportion of the total work during the initial phas of excavation.
■only rarely can we derive any “real” quantities from deposits of broken pots. ■however, there is one exceptional dump, which does reprent a very large part of the site’s total history of consumption and for which an estimate of quantity has been produced. ■on the left bank
of the tiber river in rome, by one of the river ports of the ancient city, is a substantial hill some 50 meters high called monte testaccio. ■ it is made up entirely of broke oil amphorae,mainly of the cond and third centuries a.d. it has been estimated that monte testaccil contains the remains of some 53 million amphorae, in which aroud 6,000 million liters of oil were imported into the city from overas. imports into imperial rome were supported by the full might of the state and were therefore quite exceptional—but the size of the operations at monte testa
ccil, and the productivity and complexity that lay behind them, nonetheless cannot fail to impress. this was a society with similarities to modern ones—moving good s on a gigantic scale, manufacturing high-quality containers to do so, and occasionally, as here, even discarding them on delivery.
