Caches are placed at a location which has usually some special interest, beauty or a favourite place previously visited.
Roadside caches, not always a favourite, and quite commonly used for speed (Cache and Dash (C&D)), normally have limited options.
This series of caches are primarily for the newbies and families with young children. Having to walk too far can be problematic and finding only the basic plastic containers, not too much fun for the wee ones?
POTTERY
Pottery is dishes, plates, cups, cooking pots, and storage jars made out of clay. People make dishes and pots out of clay for several reasons. Clay is cheap and easy to get.
Pottery is our oldest handicraft. In prehistoric times, water was carried in woven baskets lined with river clay. After the water was poured out of the container the layer of clay dried. The loss of moisture caused the shape to shrink and separate from the sides of the basket. When the clay, now shaped like a pot, was removed, and dried in the sun on hot sand, it retained the basket pattern. Early men and women then discovered that they could harden the moulded pottery in hot ashes and make sturdy containers to transport and store food. These pots were made with rounded bottoms to avoid sharp edges that might crack. The potter's wheel was invented in Mesopotamia (made up of Iraq, Syria, Turkey) sometime between 6,000 and 4,000 BC and revolutionised pottery production. The Egyptians then invented the kiln.
If you were to study Pottery then you would be an Archaeologist.
Archaeology is the study of things that people made, used, and left behind. The goal of archaeology is to understand what people of the past were like and how they lived.
