Passage 3
Small, spoon-shaped objects found on the end of warriors’ belts at archaeological sites across northern Europe could have been used to dispense stimulants (分配兴奋剂) before battle, a study suggests.
The widespread use of drugs in ancient Greece and Rome was 31 in ancient sources and supported by archaeological finds. However, this body of evidence was 32 for the Germanic peoples living outside the Roman Empire, and it is generally assumed that they made little 33 of drugs apart from alcohol.
Now, 34 by archaeologists offer a fresh viewpoint on these issues. Researchers identified 241 such 35 dating from the Roman period. They have handles, mostly 40-70mm long, and either a concave (凹的) bowl or flat disk measuring 10 to 20mm across. They were 36 to a man’s belt but played no role in its 37 .
Stimulants may have been widely used to motivate soldiers to 38 their performance and also to reduce the stress and 39 caused by the war. The warriors could have used these objects to measure the right dose to 40 the desired effects.
Researchers then surveyed which stimulants could have been 41 to the Germanic communities, either plants gathered locally or 42 in dry form from further afield. They conclude that Germanic peoples would have had access to a wide range of substances used as stimulants. These could have been 43 either in liquid form or in powdered form.
Moreover, they note that to 44 the quantity and type of stimulants needed would have required considerable knowledge. They further believe that the stimulants were probably also used for 45 other than warfare, such as in medicine and rituals.

In 1856, William Perkin, an 18-year-old 87 student, noticed something strange while doing an experiment. The chemicals he used to clean his instruments 88 with the chemicals he used in his experiment and produced a bright purple color. This 89 led Perkin to start a company using this chemical mixture to make purple dye. The dye was much 90 than sea snail dye. Thanks to Perkin, now anyone can afford to wear purple clothes.
