Probably. Just like child labor fuels cobalt mining in several parts of Africa right now. Cobalt is needed in our computers and EV cars.

No of course they didn’t use child labor. Everyone knows that 4000 years ago kids sat around until age 18 doing nothing./s

Who ever thought this was a question?

Back then it was called apprenticeship and learning a trade. Cups are easy beginner work.

“Did Child Labor Fuel the Ancient Pottery Industry?”

Reparations for descendants of ancient child-laborers must be prioritized! /s

Back in the day, kids were adults as soon as they were able to walk outside of their residence.

Why not put the kids to work when adult Elbans had no time for pottery...
