<HTML>Again, i wasn't sure if it was the Ubadians. Regardless, I remember reading a blurb by someone who specializes on archeological pottery and the reason for the "far ahead of its time" pottery this culture made might NOT have been the beauty, but rather the eggshell-thin walls.
Sorry, I just don't remember all the details. IMHO, trying to use any semblance of technology to date an epoch is highly suspect since it's been shown time and time again, not every area of expertise evolves in a linear fashion from culture to culture.
