Porcelain. Earthenware. China. Archaeology. Stoneware. Anthropology. Amphora. Throwing wheels. We got it all. Master potters, history aficionados and Potted History’s icons Sarah Lord Taylor and Graham Taylor are here for our 8th anniversary episode. We get the dirt on ceramics versus pottery, where clay comes from, if there’s enough in the world, how can you spot clay in the wild, how long have humans being making pots, what were the first ceramics, what is glaze exactly, why did your pots explode, what excavations of stoneware have revealed about our ancient ancestors, the Venus figurines of history, the hidden ingredients that might surprise you, and how to feel about thrift store finds. Also: how to bond with a potter instantly.  Visit the Potted History <a href="https://potted-history.co.uk/" target="_blank">website</a> and follow them on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/pottedhistory/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@pottedhistory" target="_blank">TikTok</a>, and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@PottedHistory" target="_blank">YouTube</a>Donations went to <a href="https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/" target="_blank">Cancer Research UK</a> and <a href="https://www.littlelifts.org.uk/" target="_blank">Little Lifts</a><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/ceramology">More episode sources and links</a>Other episodes you may enjoy: <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/xylology">5th Anniversary Special!
