Question

Pottery is one of the most common finds on an excavation site. Why?

Answer 1

The beginning of pottery was in the Indus Valley civilisation. It was one of the most found artefacts on the excavation sites. This is because of the following reasons:
1. The crops cultivated by people needed to be kept for later use. Pottery was extensively made to store the grains. The consumption spread over a longer period of time due to pottery.
2. These were made for other applications such as to contain water, oil and fats of animals.
3. Pottery was also used as utensils for cooking and eating.
