迄今为止所获的考古资料表明，土陶器生产是在旧石器晚期和新时期时代，由世界各地各民族独立地创造出来的。在我国现存最早的陶器有江苏保水神洞出土的陶片，是1．5～1万年前的旧石器晚期的土陶器遗存。到了新时期时代，人类逐渐由狩猎转向耕作，过着以农业为主的定居生活，土 The archaeological data obtained so far show that earthenware pottery production was created in the late Paleolithic and new eras, and was independently created by people from all over the world. The earliest existing pottery in China is the pottery piece unearthed in Shenshui, Jiangsu, which is a relic of earthenware in the late Paleolithic period from 1.5 to 10,000 years ago. In the new era, humans gradually turned from hunting to farming and lived in a settled life dominated by agriculture.
