石湾窑新发现及其意义

The New Discovery of Shiwan Kiln and Its Great Significance

石湾窑新发现位于佛山石湾街道办劳动小区美陶花园工地,历史上曾是石湾陶业生产核心地带,此次挖掘出的陶器数量之多、质量之好为历史之最,不仅填补了宋元时期石湾地下陶瓷考古空白且以实物的形式证明了石湾陶业在唐宋之后如何承接中原陶技,形成地域特色迅速发展崛起,成为南国陶都。新发现对石湾窑起始时间确定具重要意义。

The new discovery of Shiwan Kiln is located at the construction site of Meitao Garden of Shiwan, Chaneheng District. Historically, it was the center of ceramic industry of Shiwan. The large quantity and the fine quality of the unearthed potteries in this kiln have been unprecedented and thus filled in the gaps of the history of Shiwan ceramic production in the Song and Yuan Dynasties in terms of material objects to prove the fast development of the ceramic center in South China. The new discovery has great significance for setting the beginning time of Shiwan Kiln.
