An international team of archeologists reported yesterday that they had found pottery fragments near Santarem in the lower Amazon basin that they determined to be 7,000 to 8,000 years old. That makes them at least 1,000 years older than what was previously considered the earliest pottery in the Americas. The world's earliest well-documented ceramics have been identified as being from the Jomon culture of Japan 11,000 years ago
