I know that the answer to the question "One place mentioned does not use pottery, other places do - with what people could you have bartered for a clay pot?" is in "Not all of these cultural elements characteristic of the Neolithic appeared everywhere in the same order: the earliest farming societies in the Near East did not use pottery. In other parts of the world, such as Africa, South Asia and Southeast Asia, independent domestication events led to their own regionally distinctive Neolithic cultures that arose completely independent of those in Europe and Southwest Asia. Early Japanese societies and other East Asian cultures used pottery before developing agriculture.". Can you tell me what it is?
A:
Early Japanese societies and other East Asian cultures
