Answers
Answer:Pottery was important to ancient Iowans and is an important type of artifact for the archaeologist. ... Pots were tools for cooking, serving, and storing food, and pottery was also an avenue of artistic expression. Prehistoric potters formed and decorated their vessels in a variety of ways.
Black-on-red (BoR) is a highly distinctive ware of the Iron Age whose main characteristics are the delicate forms, and its striking geometric decorations. The vessels are thin-walled and made of finely-levigated reddish-brown or buff clay, slipped red or orange and carefully burnished. The line decoration is carefully applied in a matt black paint. The ware was produced in Cyprus and Phoenicia throughout the Iron Age and the most common forms were juglets and large shallow or deep bowls. There is substantial evidence that Black-on-red pottery originated in Cyprus, though the decorative technique may well have been inspired by earlier pottery of the Phoenician and Philistine cultures. It was widely traded throughout the eastern Mediterranean from the 10th to the 7th centuries BC
