介绍（中）	这个杯子有一个宽阔的嘴和笔直的侧面，突然变细以遇到一个小脚。它由浅黄色粘土制成，带有棕色装饰，即容器上部的垂直线条和脚上的直线径向线条。内部的轮子线表明它是在陶轮上制作的。这个杯子是在伊朗北部现代城市达姆汉附近的Tepe Hissar出土的。Tepe Hissar主要是一个农业定居点，尽管植物种植的大部分证据可以追溯到后期，建筑物由泥砖或简单的泥墙制成。这个杯子属于希萨尔IC/IIA时期，根据放射性碳测年法，可追溯到公元前3980-3865年。在此期间，该遗址有一个活跃且技术娴熟的陶瓷工业，生产形状良好的容器，装饰有几何设计和山羊，瞪羚和鸟类的风格化图像。但目前尚不清楚这些船只的用途。在坟墓中发现了类似的杯子，事实上，Tepe Hissar的大多数坟墓都装有杯子，这表明饮酒在那里的生死中起着重要作用。
介绍（英）	This cup has a wide mouth and straight sides, which taper abruptly to meet a small foot. It is made of a buff clay, with brown decorations, namely vertical lines on the upper part of the vessel and straight radial lines on the foot. Wheel lines on the interior indicate it was made on a potter’s wheel. This cup was excavated at Tepe Hissar, near the modern city of Damghan in northern Iran. Tepe Hissar was primarily an agricultural settlement, though much of the evidence for plant cultivation dates to later periods, with buildings made of mudbrick or simply mud walls. This cup belongs to the Hissar IC/IIA period, dating to ca. 3980-3865 B.C. on the basis of radiocarbon dating. During this period there was a lively and technically proficient ceramic industry at the site, producing well-formed vessels decorated with geometric designs and stylized images of ibexes, gazelles and birds. But it is not known what these vessels were used for. Similar cups were found in graves, and indeed most of the graves at Tepe Hissar contained cups, suggesting that drinking played a significant role in life, or death, there.
