The authors have studied the organization of pottery production in an ancient society by researching the "grammar" of motives and aesthetic quality of prehistoric painted pottery. The culture of Tall-e-Bakun A which has prevailed in Marvdasht plain in Fars Province at the end of 5th and the beginning of 4th millennium BCE, is the case study of this investigation.

Requirements and rules have been used in creating patterns on pottery of this period, the most important of which are: placing motifs in frames, symmetry, repetition, reversing and clockwise direction of motifs, creating motifs with negative technique and using separating elements.
