Oldest Pottery Comes From Chinese Cave - Science News »

Ice age foragers cooked with ceramic pots long before farmers did

Pottery making got off to an ancient, icy start in East Asia. Pieces of ceramic containers found in a Chinese cave date to between 19,000 and 20,000 years ago, making these finds from the peak of the last ice age the oldest known examples of pottery.

This new discovery suggests that hunter-gatherers in East Asia used pottery for cooking at least 10,000 years before farming appeared in that part of the world, say archaeologist Xiaohong Wu of Peking University in Beijing, China, and her colleagues. Cooking would have increased energy obtained from starchy foods and meat, a big plus in frigid areas with limited food opportunities, the researchers report in the June 29 Science.

“The early onset of pottery making meant that food preparation intensified during the last glacial maximum,” says Harvard University archaeologist and study coauthor Ofer Bar-Yosef.

OLDEST POT

This pottery fragment and others found near it in a Chinese cave date to 20,000 years ago, making them the oldest known examples of pottery making.

Ceramic bowl Red poppy bowl Stoneware pottery bowl with black accents Flower shaped candle holder i really like the redness what to make this...

i thought this one was interesting. you could have a boil of serial with some  bacon on the side our you could a have a relly good soup and bread :)

i would like to make somthing like this so that when i have guests come over i can have it as a drink holder/ server.

worked on new types of glazing, some problems that acured were that the enire pot did not glaze over will have to re glaze/fire. also have to glaze a few more cups/boils projests.
