Neolithic pottery

Neolithic pottery refers to ceramic vessels created during the Neolithic period (around 10,000 to 2000 BCE), marking a time when humans transitioned to settled farming life. These pottery pieces often feature simple shapes and were used for storing food, water, and cooking. They sometimes display decorative patterns or painted designs, reflecting cultural practices and craftsmanship. Neolithic pottery shows advances in technology, such as the development of new firing techniques, and provides valuable insights into the daily lives, diet, and social organization of early farming communities.
