Shards of pottery dating back 18,000 years have been unearthed in a cave in Hunan province, southern China. The manufacture of ceramic pots and other items is generally associated with the change from Paleolithic hunter-gatherer societies into sedentary Neolithic communities, which began about 10,000 years ago in the eastern Mediterranean. But pottery manufacture began considerably earlier in East Asia, during the late Paleolithic. (source: nature.com)
