龙窑因依托山势而建，形如长龙而得名。郭塘岙窑址考古项目负责人王光远介绍，郭塘岙龙窑分为窑头、窑床、窑尾三部分。窑头的火膛规模 较大，进深约2.2米，底部留有火门。而窑床比火膛后部又高出约1.2米，有利于点火后形成抽力，提升窑温。窑头处有操作面、柱洞和排水沟等 附属设施的遗迹，这些遗迹都是东汉陶瓷手工业的实证。 古代的越窑因地处浙东越地而得名，因盛产青瓷而著称。宁波市文化遗产管理研究院10月17日向新华社记者介绍，考古工作者今年在宁波市江 北区慈城镇发现了一处保存较完整、结构清晰的东汉越窑遗址。慈城镇是旧时慈溪县的老县城，此处窑址位于慈城镇八字村，长溪山脉南麓， 郭塘河东岸。 图为东汉龙窑遗址。（宁波市文化遗产管理研究院供图） 2025年5月至7月，为配合通苏嘉甬铁路建设，经国家文物局批准，宁波市文化遗产管理研究院对郭塘岙窑址进行了抢救性考古发掘。最为重要 的考古成果，就是一条长达22.5米的东汉时期的龙窑。 考古现场出土了种类丰富的瓷器与窑具标本。其中，瓷器主要是罍、壶、锺、罐、盆等日用器，釉色以青釉和黑釉为主，纹饰则是具有典型东 汉特征的水波纹、菱形纹、方格纹、蝶形纹、梳篦纹等。 图为龙窑遗址中的火膛。（宁 ...
