Abstract
Pottery making and using in India is a long historical tradition which perhaps began in a solid way during Neolithic period and became an alphabet of post-Neolithic cultures. Its impact had largely revolutionized the colonization of past human groups in different geographical areas in the Indian past cultures, i.e., Harappa culture, Deccan Chalcolithic cultures, like Malwa, Jorwe, Savalda, etc. and paved for the generation of new cultural traditions. Even today several pottery making communities in India, especially rural community retain their forefather’s technique of utility in their day to day life. They inherited the technology of pottery making from their forefathers. Each area somewhat show certain unique method of procuring the raw materials, processing of the same and ultimately ending up with a final product of pottery which take large of their energy. After the discovery of pottery there was a series of revolutionary changes found to occur at various periods of time as mentioned above. The present area of research showed it’s own typical way of pottery making and utilization in south India in a broader perspective and Kurnool district in particular as it formed part of South Indian Neolithic culture. The same pottery tradition may not appear now in the region under study but it’s tradition is very much present in rural areas of the region.
