Abstract

The history of ceramic tradition in India is an interesting aspect in Indian archaeology, with the antiquity of manufacturing earthen pots going back as far as the prehistoric period. Generally in the community, it is said that pottery is the grammar of archaeology, or pottery is the alphabet of archaeology.
