[QUOTE="Potteryplease, post: 4373846, member: 16407"]Plains peoples tended to migrate more than stay in one place year-round, so pottery was less common, as it's heavy and relatively fragile. Pottery in the Americas tended to be associated more with cultures that lived in places where year-round agriculture was possible. It's a minor point, yes. But like I said, some asymmetrical, hand-shaped pottery has such a feel of the potter. It's so expressive. It has personality. The perfect symmetrical pieces made with a wheel and, even worse, the mass produced green ware can feel mechanical and even dead. On that topic, I could go on and on![/QUOTE]
