5000 Year Old Pottery












I monitor a website that has a daily round-up of archeological news.

This article caught my interest because of the location of the site and the long history of digs that have gone on there.

The "Burnt City" was a place crossroad of cultures and trade and the habitat of artists of many disciplines.

The pottery is as fresh and beautiful as work done today and has been amazingly undisturbed due to the location of the dig is now a far more harsh environment







Who knew dice were this old?
