Introduction[edit]

A great part of the history of pottery is prehistoric, part of past pre-literate cultures. Therefore, much of this history can only be found among the artifacts of archaelogy. Because pottery is so durable, pottery and sherds from pottery survive from millenia at archaeological sites. Therefore, one must look to articles on archaeology to learn of the very early history of pottery.

Not all societies developed pottery at the same time or pace. Pottery generally developed in societies after they became sedentary, with the development of farming, during the Neolithic age. However, pottery has been found with Paleolithic cultures as well and for other cultures that not fully settled.

While there may be no specific articles devoted to some aspects of the history of pottery, pottery is referenced in general histories and descriptions of living cultures. It is also covered in histories of art.

Pottery is defined, for purposes of this article, as fired ceramic vessels -- hollow containers, bowls, cups, etc., including dishes -- that are formed from clay. Clay Figurines and Tiles are not considered pottery by some definitions. However, the history of figurines and tiles are closely related to that of pottery. Therefore, some articles devoted to these will be included in this outline. However, fired clay construction materials like bricks and Terracotta tiles will not be covered.

Excluded Topics[edit]

For the most part, this list will not include the following, unless one is particularly notable

  • Modern commercial pottery manufacturers (under Category:Pottery by nationality)
  • Names of people (much of this is under Category:Pottery by nationality)
  • Specific individual pots - many pots are exhibited in museums around the world and have become examples of certain styles and ages of pottery. These specific pots are featured in articles linked to this history, but they will not be mentioned in this article.
  • Figurines -- The same clay materials and technology used for pottery are also used to create small figures representing people, animals and objects. Discussion of these will be outside the scope of this article, except for occassional mention. (see Category:Figurine)
  • Tiles - Tiles are a form of ceramic made from the same clay used for pottery. (see the article Tiles, Mosaic, and Category:Mosaic)
  • Construction ceramics - Tiles, bricks, and other building materials are made of the same clays, but will not be discussed here. (see articles on Tiles, Bricks, Terracotta Category:Roofs, Category:Floors)

Australia and Oceania[edit]

Australia[edit]

Australia The Aborigines of Australia were hunting gatherer tribes and did not farm or cultivate crops. In keeping with these cultural features, they also never developed pottery. [1] After Europeans came to Australia and settled, they found deposits of clay which were analyzed by English potters as excelent for making pottery. Less than 20 years later, Europeans came to Australia and began creating pottery. Since then, ceramic manufacturing, mass produced pottery, and studio pottery has flourished in Australia. [2]

Oceania[edit]

Oceania (Polynesia,Melanesia, and Micronesia)
Pottery has been found in archeological sites across the islands of Oceania. It is attributed to an ancient archaeological culture called the Lapita. A form of pottery called Plainware is found throughout sites of Oceania. The relationship between Lapita pottery and Plainware is not altogether clear.
