摘要

锡亚尔克遗址拥有悠久的定居历史和大型墓地，是伊朗最重要的相对年代学遗址之一。在铁器时代，该遗址出现了带有长嘴和精美装饰的特殊陶器。虽然这些陶器一直是锡亚尔克地区发掘工作的推动因素，但它们的功能仍然是众多假设的目标。在这里，我们通过有机残留物分析来研究它们的功能。结果表明，反刍动物乳脂和反刍动物尸体脂肪在陶器中被加工过。考虑到陶器的形状，这些产品应该是液态的，可以通过壶嘴倒入，因此是以牛奶、血液或牛油为基础的混合物。这些研究结果让我们了解到铁器时代丧葬仪式中，有嘴器皿用于倾倒各种液体的功能。

Unveiling the function of long-spouted ceramics at Sialk, Iran: Insights from organic residue analysis

The site of Sialk, with its long settlement history and large necropolises offers one of the most important relative chronology of Iran. During the Iron Age, particular pottery vessels with a long spout and elaborate decorations appeared at the site. While these ceramics had been the driven factor behind excavations in the area of Sialk, their function remains the object of numerous hypotheses. Here their function was investigated through organic residues analysis. Results show ruminant dairy fats and ruminant carcass fats were processed in the ceramics. Considering the pottery's shape these products would have been in a liquid state to be poured through the spout, thus milk-based and, blood-based or tallow-based mixtures. These results provide insight into the function of spouted vessel for pouring liquids of various origin during Iron Age funerary rituals.

期刊介绍： Archaeological Research in Asia presents high quality scholarly research conducted in between the Bosporus and the Pacific on a broad range of archaeological subjects of importance to audiences across Asia and around the world. The journal covers the traditional components of archaeology: placing events and patterns in time and space; analysis of past lifeways; and explanations for cultural processes and change. To this end, the publication will highlight theoretical and methodological advances in studying the past, present new data, and detail patterns that reshape our understanding of it. Archaeological Research in Asia publishes work on the full temporal range of archaeological inquiry from the earliest human presence in Asia with a special emphasis on time periods under-represented in other venues. Journal contributions are of three kinds: articles, case reports and short communications. Full length articles should present synthetic treatments, novel analyses, or theoretical approaches to unresolved issues. Case reports present basic data on subjects that are of broad interest because they represent key sites, sequences, and subjects that figure prominently, or should figure prominently, in how scholars both inside and outside Asia understand the archaeology of cultural and biological change through time. Short communications present new findings (e.g., radiocarbon dates) that are important to the extent that they reaffirm or change the way scholars in Asia and around the world think about Asian cultural or biological history.
