Summary/Abstract: Pottery artifacts surrounded mankind through its evolution, whether they were dishes or ritual items. Clay, a formless material which is at hand anywhere people live it’s easily modeled. After burning, every pot has the qualities people need – it becomes impermeable, more durable, rigid, can be used to storage or to cook using fire thus making food easier to digest. The results of archaeologists and restaurateurs’ work is bringing back to light and stress the importance of material items of a world long gone with the work, the daily life, the spiritual life and the traditions of societies of which we have no other information. History and archaeology with everything they imply are the only connection of contemporary life with the migrations that once swept a territory.
