Making a stone age pot The craft of pottery requires command of a complex technology. The clay was tempered with sand, crushed stone or bone to make it withstand firing. The vessel was made of bands of clay 5-7 cm wide, which were joined to each other. Before being fired, the pots were decorated with stamped impressions resembling the mark of a comb. This period of the Stone Age is accordingly called the Comb Ware Culture. The pots were baked on an open fire. Comb Ware vessels have a round or pointed base, and they vary in size from small pots resembling egg-cups to large vessels of over 70 litres. Vessels of this size could not be moved, which supports the suggestion that they were used for storage. 8000 eKr. 7000 eKr 6000 eKr. 5000 eKr. 4000 eKr 3000 eKr. 2000 eKr. 1000 eKr. 0 1000 jKr. 2000 jKr.- Jääkausi  Kivikausi Mesoliittinen kivikausi n. 8000 - 4200 eKr.
