ABSTRACT This paper introduces the pottery of mid-Parthian date from Building V at Shahr-i Qumis, a major Parthian settlement that dates, at least in part, from the second and the first centuries BC, and which lies some thirty km to the west of Damghan. A little over two thousand years ago the local water supply appears to have been adequate to support a site that was notable for its monumental mud-brick architecture as well as for its pottery, which included a number of distinctive “Iron Age related” characteristics. This is not, however, a publication of the pottery from the entire site of Qumis; it represents pottery from the core plan of only one building, even if this particular building does much to illustrate the nature of typical mid-Parthian pottery in the vicinity of Qumis. Subsequent ceramic studies will complement the present treatment. Whether or not this same location ought also to be associated with a slightly earlier Achaemenid/Seleucid township that was known to the Greeks as Hecatompylos remains an unresolved issue.

来自 Shahr-i Qumis 的 V 楼的中帕提亚陶器

摘要 本文介绍了位于 Shahr-i Qumis 的 V 号楼中安息时代中期的陶器，这是一个主要的安息人聚居地，至少部分可以追溯到公元前二世纪和一世纪，位于西边约 30 公里处。达姆汉。两千多年前，当地的供水似乎足以支撑一个以巨大的泥砖建筑和陶器而闻名的遗址，其中包括许多独特的“铁器时代相关”特征。然而，这并不是 Qumis 整个遗址的陶器出版物；它代表了仅一栋建筑核心平面中的陶器，即使这座特定的建筑在很大程度上说明了 Qumis 附近典型的中帕提亚陶器的性质。随后的陶瓷研究将补充目前的治疗方法。
