At Yarim Tepe located in the Sinjar valley some 7 km southwest from the town of Tal Afar in northern Iraq, archaeologists found more than 1500 rectangular furnaces and ceramic ovens used for cooking. Among the ovens was also a kiln that is over 8,000-year-old. Later archaeological discovered revealed that Sumerians used heated chamber regularly and kilns of various size and shape have been found in many places in Mesopotamia.
Sumerians used kilns to produce ceramic vases, female clay figurines, statues of gods and goddesses, and other items. Later, the use of kilns involved production of cuneiform tablets.
