Improvement Of Pottery Technology.

Recent breakthroughs in Japanese archaeological research are challenging long-held Eurocentric views that pottery and technology were exclusive to agricultural societies. New chemical and chronological analysis of ancient Japanese pottery shards has confirmed that hunter-gatherers in the Japanese archipelago independently invented pottery technology. This proves that advanced, watertight ceramic technology existed in Japan long before the arrival of agriculture, suggesting a much more complex sedentary hunter-gatherer lifestyle than previously believed. Researchers are tracing the lineage of these ancient firing techniques to modern Japanese innovations in electrical insulators and high-tech ceramic sinks used globally today.
