Linear Pottery culture

Linear Pottery Culture was a group of people who lived a long, long time ago. They lived in Europe thousands of years before you were born. They were called that because they made pottery with lines on it.

The Linear Pottery Culture people lived in villages and grew crops, like wheat and barley, to eat. They also raised animals like cows and pigs for food too. They used tools made from stone and bone to help them farm and build their homes. Their homes were made of mud and straw, and they had thatched roofs, like a hat made of plants.

The Linear Pottery Culture people were very skilled in making pottery, that's why they had it as part of their name. They made the pottery by taking clay (that's a type of dirt) and getting rid of all the little stones and sticks. Then they shaped the clay into pots, plates and bowls by using their hands or tools. After that, they let the pots dry in the sun, and then put them into a very hot fire to make them strong.

The Linear Pottery Culture people traded their pottery with other groups of people, which means they gave their pottery to other people in exchange for things they needed, like salt, special rocks, or other things. The Linear Pottery Culture people also made special decorations for their pottery, like lines, dots or wavy shapes. These decorations were beautiful and made their pottery even more special.

Today, we know about the Linear Pottery Culture people because people found their old homes, tools, and pottery when they dig in the ground. By studying what they left behind, we can learn more about how they lived and what they did.
