The thought of havingto cook dinner at the end of a a long day is sometimes almost more than your tired parents can bear－even with the help of grocery stores,refrigerators,and microwave ovens.Imagine what it must have been like in he ancient village of Mehrgarh.Not only was there no fast food,there weren't even any pots or pans.For the village's first 1,500 years,vilkagers cooked their fond,using nothing more than hot stomes,baskets,and perhaps leather sacks.Every cook must have wished a hundred times for some kind of vessel that could be put directly over the fire,that could hold water better than a bitumen-coated basket,and that a rat couldn't chew through.
About 5500 BCE,the villagers realized that a solutiom o the problem of cooking and food storage was right at their feet－the fine,silty mud called clay.They dug it out of its slippery deposits by the river with digging sticks,then pounded it to bits and dried it in the hot sun for a couple of days.Then they sifted it to remove any small rocks or leaves,kneaded it with water until it formed large balls,then covered the balls with a damp cloth.For several days,water seeped into the clay.Then it was finally ready to shape into a pot or a smalk human or animal figure.
