This paper presents an updated radiocarbon chronology of the earliest pottery sites in the Old World. Ceramic production originated in the Late Glacial period in several regions of East Asia—the Japanese Islands, the Russian Far East, and southern China—at approximately the same time, about 13,700–13,300 BP (about 17,200–14,900 cal BP).
