Abstract
Pottery has a long tradition and plays a very important role in the indigenous culture of the various ethnic groups in Nagaland. In Nagaland, pottery production methods and products are still traditional and highly valued for their aesthetic and religious significance. This chapter provides an intellectual review of indigenous pottery production at Laruri village and Rünguzu village, Phek district and Wui village, Tuensang district with a view to reveal their role in the social sustainability of the indigenous people. It looks at the ontology of the art, clay winning process, pottery production, their usage and associated taboos erstwhile describing how pottery production in Nagaland is integrated into everyday life as a cultural heritage. In ancient times, Laruri pottery was also known for preparing separate jars for secondary burial, which is clearly distinguishable from the normal everyday cooking vessels.
