@historichunter thanks for your answer ; soap stone seems great (and "mythical", not to be found everywhere). As sealed fireproof containers may have been a big technological challenge in remote prehistory, I'm inclined to believe that we can make birch tar without using any container. For instance : an earth pit, using the more common materials : sand, fresh clay / simple earth, smooth stones, ... An interesting experiment to make.

Fired clay vessels were widely available to almost all human cultures for many millennia before 3300BC when Oetzi lived and died. However ceramic vessels are fragile and heavy. For rough travel the birch container would be more practical.
