The neolithics mainly used pottery for food and water storage. The clay was dense enough after firing, that it provided protection from insects. Water was also stored in clay vessels. The clay was porous enough to allow a bit of surface leakage, that would cool in the wind; consequently, keeping the water stored inside the vessel cool.

Clay was also used for decorative items, spiritual tokens and amulets, and adornment for the body.

Can I use my oven as a kiln for pottery?

No, it is not safe to use a regular household oven as a kiln for pottery. Pottery kilns are specifically designed to reach and maintain high temperatures required for firing clay, which household ovens are not capable of achieving. Using an oven for pottery can be dangerous and may damage both the pottery and the oven. It is recommended to use a proper pottery kiln for firing pottery.
