Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Terra-cotta is the literal name for "cooked earth" and was commonly used by the Minoan civilization to make pottery, including jars. Faïence is a type of glazed ceramic, ceramic refers to any object made of clay that is hardened by heat, and fresco is a painting technique where watercolor is applied to wet plaster. While these materials may have been used by the Minoans, they do not have the same direct association with jars as terra-cotta does.
