Look pal, a few words of advice: if you're going to try and crash threads where grown-ups are talking and expect people to engage with you, it's probably wise to actually learn something about the subject they are discussing. If you just fling random words that you've heard other people using into a load of semi-coherent and largely irrelevant verbiage, you're going to look like a dick, and be ignored. You can have this one for free: Rehydroxylation isn't yet accurate enough for to use for pottery dating, only tile and brick. No-one's using it yet. Here's a bonus: the Museum of London employs at least three pottery specialists. The rest you're just going to have to find out for yourself. I'd suggest reading a few books, it's remarkable what you can learn that way.
Have a nice day.
