<p indent="0mm">Pottery production has always been an important topic in scientific and archaeological research from prehistoric period to Xia and Shang dynasties. From a historical perspective, related research has gone through three stages: start, initial development, rapid development. Its research objects have expanded from simple pottery shards to various types of remains related to pottery production, such as clay, temper, and pottery kilns. The research content has shifted from focusing on basic raw material composition, molding process, physical properties, and firing technology to addressing deep-seated issues such as the evolution of molding technology, production organization, and trade circulation. The research methods have evolved from relying on a single technological means to comprehensive studies of multiple technologies and disciplines. Some research paradigms have been proposed successively, providing new ideas and directions for the research of pottery production technology.
