Iron Age pottery encompasses a wide range of ceramic vessels produced during the Iron Age, a period of human history characterized by the widespread use of iron tools and implements. The Iron Age varies in different regions, but generally spans from around 1200 BCE to the rise of classical civilizations such as Greece and Rome. Iron Age pottery reflects the technological advancements and cultural developments of this period, with pottery serving various utilitarian, ritualistic, and artistic purposes.

Iron Age pottery was typically handmade using techniques such as coiling, slab-building, or wheel-throwing, depending on the cultural practices and technological capabilities of the time and place. Vessels were fired in kilns, resulting in durable ceramic objects that could withstand the rigors of daily use. Iron Age pottery came in a variety of shapes, sizes, and styles, ranging from simple cooking pots and storage jars to elaborate ritual vessels and decorative figurines.

Iron Age pottery provides valuable insights into ancient societies' economic, social, and cultural dynamics. Pottery sherds found at archaeological sites can reveal information about trade networks, foodways, and technological innovations, as well as changes in settlement patterns and social organization over time. Additionally, the analysis of pottery production techniques, materials, and stylistic elements can help archaeologists trace cultural interactions and exchange between different regions and civilizations during the Iron Age, shedding light on the interconnectedness of ancient societies and the evolution of human civilization.
