===Ceramic=== While [[pottery]] originated in many different points around the world, it is certain that it was brought to light mostly through the [[Neolithic Revolution]]. That is important because it was a way for the first agrarians to store and carry a surplus of supplies. While most jars and pots were fire-clay [[ceramics]], Neolithic communities also created [[kiln]]s that were able to fire such materials to remove most of the [[water]] to create very stable and hard materials. Without the presence of [[clay]] on the riverbanks of the Tigris and Euphrates in the Fertile Crescent, such kilns would have been impossible for people in the region to have produced. Using these kilns, the process of [[metallurgy]] was possible once the [[Bronze Age|Bronze]] and [[Iron Age]]s came upon the people that lived there.<ref>James E. McClellan III; Harold Dorn (2006).
