Where else would you get moist clay than from a creek or river?

How to Find Local Clay
Approximately 80 percent of the earth’s land surface contains clay. There is a good chance that there are local earthenware clays near where you live. How do you find it?
Some of the best places to look for clay include:

• river banks
• stream beds
• road cuts
• naturally exposed earth such as in canyons or gullies

You can burn pottery in a fire without a kiln. Ever read The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne?

Big difference from bare subsistence and being able to things like pottery that involve a stable and settled culture.

I never got the impression that mana from heaven was “bare subsistence” but maybe that is just your assumption. And these people were together for over 40 years so I think they had a stable culture.
