Line 1: '''Aceramic''' is defined as "not producing pottery". In [[archaeology]], the term means "without [[pottery]]". Aceramic societies ~~usualy~~usually used bark, basketry, gourds and leather for containers.<ref>{{Cite web\|url = http://www.archaeologywordsmith.com/lookup.php?terms=aceramic\|title = Archaeology Wordsmith\|website = www.archaeologywordsmith.com\|access-date = 2016-03-07}}</ref> It is sometimes used to refer to a specific early [[Neolithic]] period before a culture develops [[Pottery\|ceramics]], such as the Middle Eastern [[Pre-Pottery Neolithic A]], in which case it is a synonym of '''preceramic''' (or '''pre-pottery'''). It should be distinguished from the specific term '''Pre-Ceramic''', which is a period in many chronologies of the [[archaeology of the Americas]], typically showing some [[agriculture]] and developed [[textile]]s but no fired [[pottery]]. For example in the [[Norte Chico civilization]] and other cultures of [[Peru]], the cultivation of [[cotton]] seems to have been very important in economic and power relations, from around 3200 BC. Here, [[Cotton Pre-Ceramic]] may be used as a period. The "Pre-Ceramic" may be followed by "Ceramic" periods or a [[formative stage]].<ref>Stone-Miller, Rebecca, ''Art of the Andes'', pp. 7, 18-23, 2002 (2nd edn), Thames & Hudson, World of Art series, {{ISBN\|0500203636}}</ref>
