Pottery (Civ6)

Pottery is an Ancient Era technology in Civilization VI.
== Strategy ==
Pottery is an important early step for civilization. The creation of containers out of clay ensures long-term, safe storage of food and other essentials. Through this technology, cities can build Granaries to improve sanitation and growth. It also allows Builders to harvest any or in planned spots.
Pottery is one of the five possible techs you can choose at the very start of the game. Although it doesn't unlock any important improvement or district, it leads to the ubiquitous Writing that unlocks the entire upper side of the tech tree, so you will need to research it eventually. It also leads to Irrigation, which you will absolutely need if your starting location's luxury resources are predominantly plant-based (and thus accessible via Plantations), or if it is far from the sea, devoid of minerals, and generally poor on terrain-based sources. Otherwise, you should prioritize one of the other starting techs, which unlock more immediate benefits.
