Longshan culture is a kind of culture in the late Neolithic Age in China, which was named after its first discovery in Longshan Town, Zhangqiu, Shandong Province, in 1928. Longshan culture pottery has the largest number of sandy black pottery and muddy black gray pottery. Although the pottery is still made by hand, the use of quick-wheel casting is very common. Therefore, the shape of the pottery is relatively regular, and the carcass is significantly thinner
Black pottery is fired in the same way as gray pottery in strong reducing atmosphere. The reason why it appears black is that the kiln is shut down at the later stage of burning, and water is poured on the kiln top hole. The carbon in the fuel and steam combine to penetrate into the matrix to form black. The black pottery of Longshan culture in Shandong Province is the most exquisite. Among them, a kind of plain polished black pottery is the most distinctive. Its carcass is thin and uniform, and its color is black and bright. Some are as thin as eggshells, so it has the reputation of “eggshell black pottery”.
