Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Archaeological evidence shows the presence of large clay pots, woven baskets, and pits in the ground; the hunter-gatherers of the time would have made and used these pots. These could have been used to keep food, grains, and seeds. When people first started growing plants, they had to stay in the same place for a long time to care for the plants, watering, weeding, and driving away animals and birds until the grain ripened. People had to think of ways to store grain because it had to be stored for both food and seed. They began making large clay pots, weaving baskets, and digging pits into the ground in many areas because of this.
Hence, the correct statement would be that hunter-gatherers did make and use pots.
