Primary sources are things that come from persons directly involved in the events or lives being studied.  So, let's say World War II is our subject.  Any diary entries or letters (like the diary of Anne Frank or a letter by a soldier) would count as primary sources.  So would any official proclamations or letters or government documents -- such as the Constitution of France or a declaration of war by US Congress.

Secondary sources are written by historians or others after their study of primary sources.

<span>Primary sources are first-hand accounts of a topic while secondary sources are any account of something that is not a primary source. Published research, newspaper articles, and other media are typical secondary sources. Secondary sources can, however, cite both primary sources and secondary sources.

Why did the neolithic era witness increased pottery creation?
VikaD [51]

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.
