[QUOTE="say_it_slowly, post: 317507, member: 50"]From some archaeology projects I've been on where material isn't readily obvious you could try these tricks to see if it helps. Sometimes you lightly tap an object on your tooth (though with these big items that would be a very, very, very light touch;)) because a stone usually sounds like a stone. Pottery, especially low fired, when a broken edge is touched to your tongue will "stick" or show some suction. (not porcelain or high fired stoneware though)[/QUOTE]
