Daunian pottery

Daunian pottery is a fancy type of clay pots and dishes that were made by people who lived a really long time ago in a place called Daunia.

These pots are made out of clay, which is a type of dirt that can be shaped and formed into different shapes when it's wet. People would take this wet clay and make it into different things like cups, bowls, and even big pots for cooking and storing food.

The Daunian people would decorate their pots with different designs and patterns. Some pots had pictures of animals like water buffalo or deer on them, while others had squiggly lines and shapes. They would paint these designs onto the pots before they were fired, which means they were baked in a really hot oven or kiln. This made the designs on the pottery permanent and made the pottery stronger so it wouldn't break as easily.

People today study Daunian pottery to learn more about what life was like a really long time ago. They can also learn about the types of animals that lived in Daunia and what their art looked like. It's sort of like looking at old pictures or watching a really old movie to learn about the past.
