Stamp pottery culture
Stamp pottery culture ( Chinese 印纹 陶 文化 , Pinyin Yìnwéntáo Wénhuà , English Stamped Pottery Culture; Impressed Pottery Culture ) is an old name for an ancient culture in southeastern China. It was mainly widespread in the areas of Guangdong , Taiwan , Fujian , Hunan , Hubei , Jiangxi , Zhejiang and Jiangsu and is named for its main characteristic: the geometric decorations pressed into the surface of the pottery. It comes from the late Neolithic and was mainly common in the time of the Shang and Zhou dynasties . Not only did it last over a long period of time, but the cultures of the various areas also show regional variations.
In 1978, the Jiangxi Provincial Museum and Wenwu Chubanshe Publishing House in Lushan called a symposium on the subject of the Jiangnan region's stamp pottery.
The stamp pottery culture (Impressed Pottery Culture) first appeared in the early Neolithic on the Balkan Peninsula in Europe.
