Archaeologists have discovered a 1,600-year-old Roman pot factory in northern Israel, the Israel antiquities¹ authority said in a statement on Wednesday.

以色列文物管理局周三发表的一份声明中称，考古学家在以色列北部发现一处有1600年历史的罗马瓦罐工场。

It was exposed in archaeological excavations³ ahead of the construction of a new residential⁴ quarter in the town of Shlomi.

The antiquities authority said the ancient workshop features some unique elements. "The kiln⁵, used to fire the jars, is the only one known to date in the country to have been hewn entirely⁶ in bedrock," it said in a statement.

"The kiln was meticulously⁷ constructed," said Joppe Gosker, excavation² director.

"It consisted of two chambers⁸ -- one a firebox in which branches were inserted for burning, and a second chamber⁹ where the pottery¹⁰ vessels¹¹ were placed that were fired in the scorching¹² heat that was generated," the director said.

According to Anastasia Shapiro, a geologist¹³ with the excavation expedition, the features of the rare can be explained by the special geological conditions found in the area of Shlomi.
