From TFA:<p>&gt; “So it’s hard for us to be ahead of the forgers since they can read our papers and figure out ways to trick our methods.”

I would love to see such counterfeiting. The gear they would need to get and the scientists.

What prevents forgers from generating such magnetic fields? That might be worth while if people start to blindly believing that &quot;pottery frozen magnetic fields are not possible to counterfeit&quot;. Note that &quot;not possible to counterfeit&quot; is not a claim in the article.

The method of seems to involve hearing the artifacts which seems plausibly risky for an ancient artifact.

There are two fields. The second very weak field is acquired over centuries, I assume when the piece is not moved. The primary stronger field is created when it&#x27;s first formed. I think what you&#x27;re talking about would orientate the primary field, not the weak field.

can this clue be circumvented by using magnets oriented in a certain way around the workshop while constructing the pottery?
