Definition: Bats (noun) in pottery are usually the discs made of plaster, wood products, or plastic which attach to the wheelhead of a potter's wheel (pottery wheel). These discs allow ware to be moved from the wheel as soon as it is thrown without damaging or deforming the pot. Bats can also be working surfaces. For example, large square or rectangular bats can be made of plaster and used as an absorbent surface to wedge clay and dry out very wet clay. The word itself derives from the same root that has given us the Baseball bat.
Examples: After throwing and trimming the vase, I carefully took the bat off the wheelhead and put it on the shelf so the pot could dry while I continued to work on the wheel.

How did the lapita people get there name?
From the awesome and finely decorated pottery they made. To be more specific, lapita pottery is recognised for it's unique and intricate designs which is so precise and elaborately decorated on early pottery. These type of pottery pieces were initially discovered in New Caledonia, in a place called Lapita, hence, the name. These type of pottery were later being discovered in other Pacific islands which created the idea that they were being associated with movement and migration in the Pacific as the people would take it with them wherever they would go. With this idea, these early peopple and their migration pattern were penned the "Lapita people". I'm no expert but that's as much as I know, hope it answers you well. Cheers
