[QUOTE]Originally posted by A Simple Girl: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: More on pottery: [b]The Wavy Line and the Dotted Wavy Line Pottery in the Prehistory of the Central Nile and the Sahara-Sahel Belt[/b] [i]Abbas S. Mohammed-Ali1, and Abdel-Rahim M. Khabir[/i] [i]African Archaeological Review[/i], Vol. 20, No. 1, March 2003 [i]From the chronological standpoint, it seems that the overall radiometric dates of the early ceramics from the Central Nile Valley are generally in accordance with their counterpart in the Sahara-Sahel Belt, [b]dated to the tenth–eighth millennium bp. (eighth–sixth millenium BC). These dates may suggest that pottery developed locally from early prototypes as early as 10,000 bp.[/b] The origin(s) of the wavy line and dotted wavy line ceramics is much more complex than was once thought. The reason(s) behind the invention of pottery lies mainly in the need for containers that permit wider uses of food techniques than is otherwise possible, as well as other different sets of advantages for the general mode of living (Arnold, 1985, pp. 127–166). The invention of pottery and harpoons are critical events in the process that led to the expansion of aquatic resource exploitation, as is manifested in the Nile Valley (see supra; Haaland, 1995; Sutton, 1974, pp. 529–531). Also, the Sahara-Sahel Belt might have only opened up for the kind of resource exploitation that necessitates the invention of ceramics by the early Holocene (see Clark, 1980; Hassan, 1986).[/i][/QUOTE]Where is the European pottery that antedates this, Simpleton? [b]LOL[/b] :D [/QB][/QUOTE] What are you trying to say thimble head? That pottery was invented in Egypt and diffused north to Europe? Or that ceramics was invented in Egypt and moved north to Europe? Your source isn't clear on what it is referring to and when. [QUOTE]These dates may suggest that pottery developed locally from early prototypes as early as 10,000 bp. [/QUOTE]What are the prototypes referred to? Is it ceramics or actual pottery? Just because pottery may have been in use, doesn't mean it would exclude a possibility of outside influence.
