Cardium Pottery Cardium Pottery or rather Printed-Cardium Pottery is a Neolithic decorative style that gets its name from the imprinting of the clay with the shell of the Cardium edulis, a marine mollusk. The alternative name of Printed-Cardium Pottery is given by some archaeologists because impressions with Cardium are not the only technique. Also, as the culture evolved, they tended to yield to other styles of impression, while keeping the general cultural traits and also the general aspect of the pottery (unelaborated, printed - never painted).
