介绍（中）	这款杯子的底部狭窄，壁薄，侧面略微弯曲。它由经过抛光的深灰色粘土制成。容器外部的轮线表明它是在陶轮上制造的。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，建筑物由泥砖或简单的泥墙制成。该遗址的考古植物遗迹表明，居住在那里的人们种植小麦，大麦，橄榄，葡萄，扁豆和其他豆类。这个杯子可能属于希萨尔IIB时期，根据放射性碳测年法，可追溯到公元前3365-3030年。在此期间，该工厂拥有技术娴熟的陶瓷工业，生产壁薄的成型容器。虽然它们没有像该遗址早期船只那样的彩绘装饰，但它们被抛光以形成光滑、几乎闪亮的表面。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 narrow base, thin walls, and gently incurved sides. It is made of a dark gray clay which has been burnished. Wheel lines on the outside of the vessel indicate that 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, with buildings made of mudbrick or simply mud walls. Archaeobotanical remains from the site indicate that the people living there grew wheat, barley, olives, grapes, lentils and other legumes. This cup probably belongs to the Hissar IIB period, dating to ca. 3365-3030 B.C. on the basis of radiocarbon dating. During this period there was a technically proficient ceramic industry at the site, producing well-formed vessels with thin walls. Although they featured no painted decoration like the earlier vessels from the site, they were burnished to create a glossy, almost shiny surface. 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.
