I'm struggling with my history someone me for a bit! why were neolithic pots better than earlier pots? they were smooth but uneven. they were made on a pottery wheel. they were used for storage. they were handmade.

I would say the answer is that they were made on a pottery wheel since the invention of the potter's wheel was 3000BC, with the slow wheel as its predecessor. This would also make sense since depending on what area of the world you are looking at, the Neolithic Age can go on until about 2000 BC.
