Ancient Wildfires May Have Inspired Neolithic Pottery, Israeli Study Suggests

A recent Israeli study suggests ancient wildfires in the southern Levant may have inspired the invention of pottery during the Neolithic period. Researchers analyzed environmental data from two periods of instability, finding that intense fires and erosion coincided with the emergence of pottery around 9,500-8,200 years ago. Lead researcher Amos Frumkin proposed that early humans observed clay hardening in natural fires and learned to replicate the process. While the environmental conditions existed earlier, the study suggests later Neolithic communities possessed the necessary cognitive and social development to innovate.
