Cool, but that kiln represents a vast amount of distilled knowledge, plus modern metallurgy retroactively applied. (And metal tools to work it.)
It’s hard to imagine the first experimenters thinking “Hmm, I’m going to stick some of this dirt in my pottery kiln and see what happens”, and then adjusting the temperature, times, and so many other details, especially when they have no idea of what the end result is supposed to be.
And then dealing with the people asking “where are those new pots you were supposed to be making?”
