Encyclopedic overview
Neolithic expansions from the 10th to the 5th millennium BC, including the Cardium culture in blue
Cardium pottery or Cardial ware is a Neolithic decorative style that gets its name from the imprinting of the clay with the heart-shaped shell of the Cerastoderma glaucum, a member of the cockle family Cardiidae. These forms of pottery are in turn used to define the Neolithic culture which produced and spread them, commonly called the "Cardial culture".
