Archeologists have found pottery in Israel that's much older than 6,000 years old. The early inhabitants of Tell es-Sultan - the precursor settlement of Jericho had very advanced pottery - in terms of decoration etc. They've been dated to the end of the Younger Dryas event of 10,000 years ago. Although controversial some have suggested that the early Natufian village sites, dated around 12,000 years ago had some pottery. More reliable are the finds at Hallan Cemi Tepesi used decorated stone bowels made from sandstone. This culture has been dates to just after the collapse of the Natufian culture. (Sorry geeking out here).
