Question

Why did the neolithic era witness increased pottery creation?

Answer 1

The neolithic era witnessed increased pottery creation because of the change of the lifestyle of the humans. During the neolithic era, the humans started to change their hunter-gatherer lifestyle with settled lifestyle. The reason for this was that they started to engage in agriculture. Because the humans had more spare time with the settled lifestyle, they were able to engage in other activities, mostly things that were going to benefit them in their daily lives. The creation of pottery was one of those things. The pottery was very practical, relatively easy to make, and the material for it was in abundance. The humans used it for cooking, for eating, for drinking, keeping things in it. Because of this, the pottery creation saw a significant increase, and it is no wonder that it is by far the most abundant archaeological thing found.
