Description:

It is believed that pottery was developed only after humans established agriculture, which led to permanent settlements. The oldest known pottery is from China and dates to 20,000 BC, at the height of the ice age, long before the beginnings of agriculture.

Pottery is one of the oldest human inventions, originating before the Neolithic period, with ceramic objects like the Gravettian culture Venus of Dolní Věstonice figurine discovered in the Czech Republic dating back to 29,000–25,000 BC and pottery vessels that were discovered in Jiangxi, China, which date back to 18,000 BC.

Early Neolithic and pre-Neolithic pottery artifacts have been found, in Jōmon Japan (10,500 BC), the Russian Far East (14,000 BC),[4] Sub-Saharan Africa (9,400 BC), South America (9,000s-7,000s BC),[6] and the Middle East
