广西考古人员近日在贵港市一汉墓中，发现一艘全长64.8厘米的东汉陶船，这为研究古代海上丝绸之路和汉代陶艺提供了珍贵实物资料。
Nanning (CNS) -- A pottery vessel made in the Eastern Han Dynasty (25–220) was recently discovered at a Han tomb in Guigang, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, adding new evidence that a Marine Silk Road existed, and new life to contemporary pottery studies.
The type of pottery it exemplifies was likely carried on board large transport ships up the golden waterway of the Xi River, a Marine Silk Road connecting the vital inland port of Guigang to Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau.
The 64.8 cm long vessel is now displayed at the Hepu Museum and will be significant to the study of pottery making skills, vessels and shipping conditions during Eastern Han.
