[00:05.800] Listen to the tape then answer the question below.
[00:11.480] How did the archaeologist know that the statue was a goddess?
[00:18.160] Some time ago, an interesting discovery was made by archaeologists on the Aegean island of Kea
[00:25.920] An American team explored a temple which stands in an ancient city on the promontory of Ayia Irini.
[00:34.800] The city at one time must have been prosperous, for it enjoyed a high level of civilization.
[00:41.840] Houses -- often three storeys high -- were built of stone.
[00:47.580] They had large rooms with beautifully decorated walls.
[00:52.100] The city was even equipped with a drainage system, for a great many clay pipes were found beneath the narrow streets.
[01:00.860] The temple which the archaeologists explored was used as a place of worship from the fifteenth century B.C. until Roman times.
[01:10.900] In the most sacred room of temple, clay fragments of fifteen statues were found.
[01:17.740] Each of these represented a goddess and had, at one time, been painted.
[01:24.660] The body of one statue was found among remains dating from the fifteenth century B.C.
[01:31.780] Its missing head happened to be among remains of the fifth century B.C.
[01:37.900] This head must have been found in Classical times and carefully preserved.
[01:44.440] It was very old and precious even then.
[01:49.160] When the archaeologists reconstructed the fragments,
[01:52.800] they were amazed to find that the goddess turned out to be a very modern-looking woman.
[01:59.280] She stood three feet high and her hands rested on her hips
[02:04.200] She was wearing a full-length skirt which swept the ground.
[02:08.840] Despite her great age, she was very graceful indeed,
[02:13.240] but, so far, the archaeologists have been unable to discover her identity.
