Coiling is among the most ancient forms of pottery making. The potter forms coils by rolling clay and then builds up forms by stacking the coils on top of each other and attaching them with liquid clay or slip.

For one thing, it helps give it added stability, as each coil is threaded onto the coil below it. Also, using the coiling technique, it is possible to build thicker or taller walled vessels, which may not have been possible using earlier methods. The technique permits control of the walls as they are built up and allows building on top of the walls to make the vessel look bigger and bulge outward or narrow inward with less danger of collapsing or cracking during firing.
The most common method would be to study the style of the pottery - decoration, form, and so on.Beyond this, thermoluminescence - a property available for test on objects that have been buried, is a more recent technique. And requires precautions.More Information:One method is the radiocarbon dating of organic materials concomitant with the pottery artifact.Recently (ca. 2003), a method of radiocarbon dating the lipids, embedded within the pottery material itself, has been developed. Now, for the first time, direct dating of the pottery is possible.
The traditional method for making persipan involves grinding almonds into a fine powder, mixing it with sugar and water, and shaping it into a paste. Some popular recipes that incorporate persipan include persipan cookies, persipan cake, and persipan marzipan truffles.
