Hello, I think it would be better is the paragraph shown later is transfered to the main Pottery article, under a sub heading such as 'Archaeoloical signicance'. The reason is that 1) it's about ceramics in general rather than distinctly about Iranain pottery, 2) it's a good paragraph, 3) it would help the pottery article. Any agree or not?Theriac 11:54, 9 January 2007 (UTC)"Ceramic is perhaps the earliest and the most important invention made by man. For historians and archaeologists it is the most significant of the artistic manifestations. For historians and archaeologists pottery of a certain period manifests the contemporary social organisation, economic conditions and cultural stage of that particular region. By studying pottery one may form impressions about the life, the religion of people and their history, about their social relationships, their attitude towards their neighbours, to their own world and even to their interpretation of the universe as it was then known to them. Other media, e.g. metal and textiles can be destroyed, or re-used, but pottery is indestructible, and even small fragments reveal a great deal of information for an expert."
