The object is a ceramic spout rendered in the form of what appears to be a bull. The execution of the nostrils combined with the incised arcs above the eyes are reminiscent of bull iconography in the art of the Achaemenid Empire, while the black burnished surface treatment of the vessel invokes the silver zoomorphic amphorae of the empire. The bull spout from Room S belongs to a wider corpus of animal handled vessels discovered at Tsaghkahovit (see 2010 field season).<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_595\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/aragats.arts.cornell.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/DSC00438.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-595\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-595\" alt=\"Black-burnished ceramic bull spout from Tsaghkahovit\" src=\"http:\/\/aragats.arts.cornell.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/DSC00438-300x200.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-595\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Black-burnished ceramic bull spout from Tsaghkahovit<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_596\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/aragats.arts.cornell.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/DSC00454.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-596\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-596\" alt=\"bull spout in profile\" src=\"http:\/\/aragats.arts.cornell.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/DSC00454-300x200.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-596\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">bull spout in profile<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The artifact was found in a room with several internal features never before encountered at Iron 3 Tsaghkahovit, including stone lined cooking installations and various circular and rectilinear enclosures, perhaps for storage.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_597\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/aragats.arts.cornell.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/IMG_1025.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-597\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-597\" alt=\"Southwest view onto Room S\" src=\"http:\/\/aragats.arts.cornell.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/IMG_1025-300x200.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-597\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Southwest view onto Room S<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_598\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/aragats.arts.cornell.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/IMG_1038.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-598\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-598\" alt=\"Stone-lined hearth in the east corner\" src=\"http:\/\/aragats.arts.cornell.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/IMG_1038-300x200.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-598\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Stone-lined hearth in the east corner<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the last day of the 2013 field season at Tsaghkahovit, trench supervisor Cynthia Gosselin recovered a remarkable artifact from Room S of the Iron 3 town.
