comb potteryArticle Free Pass comb pottery, also called
combware, main pottery type of the Korean Neolithic Period (c.
3000–700 bce). Derived from a Siberian Neolithic prototype, the
pottery is made of sandy clay, and its colour is predominantly
reddish brown. The vessel form found in early comb pottery is a
simple V-shape with a pointed or rounded bottom. The surface is
entirely covered with impressed or incised lines, short,
slanting, and parallel, arranged in either horizontal or
vertical rows so as to produce a sort of comb pattern. In later
pottery the clay is often tempered with asbestos or talc stone,
and the base of the vessel tends to be flattened. The earlier,
space-filling linear design yields to more sparsely placed
curvilinear designs consisting of dots. At its earlier stage,
the pottery was introduced into Kyushu, Japan, resulting in the
emergence of the so-called Sobata pottery, a fusion of comb and
the local Jōmon pottery. What made you want to look up "comb
