Pottery baking?
Is it correct to say that pottery is baked, or there is a better way of saying that in English? I know that pottery is actually manufactured by baking it in an oven but I'm not sure if this is the correct terminology! (I'm translating an archaeological scientific paper to English, so it is very important that I use the correct scientific terminology)
Thanks

I believe that pottery is fired, rather than baked. If you look up "pottery" on Wikipedia, that is the term used throughout the page - including the sections on History and Archeaology.
