Prehistoric and Neolithic pottery (c. 14,000–2000 BCE) documents the dawn of ceramic technology. Before the invention of the potter's wheel, early humans hand-built clay vessels using coiling and pinching techniques. Fired at low temperatures in open bonfires, this early earthenware was used to cook, store food, and serve aquatic and agricultural resources.
