A:Pottery making began in the 7th millennium BC. The earliest forms of pottery have been found at the Hassuna site and were pots formed by hand from slabs of reddish-brown clay that were low-fired and lacking in glazing or decoration. Within the next millennium, wares were decorated with elaborate painted designs and natural forms, incising and burnished. B:Given what we know about pottery making in the 7th millenium B.C. if archeologists found evidence from the same time period that showed mixing of ash and sand, or similar compounds, would the reasonable assumption be that such mixtures had another purpose, unrelated to pottery making? Answer: pants
A:Because it is resistant to corrosion, nickel was occasionally used as a substitute for decorative silver. Nickel was also occasionally used in some countries after 1859 as a cheap coinage metal (see above), but in the later years of the 20th century, it was replaced by cheaper stainless steel (i.e. iron) alloys, in the United States and Canada, except for a few ceremonial uses which still called for elemental nickel to be used. B:Does it sound like the USA and Canada have a relative abundance of nickel ore in their respective territories, as compared to other nations which found iron to be a more convenient source of metal for coins?

Nickel was also occasionally used in some countries after 1859 as a cheap coinage metal (see above), but in the later years of the 20th century, it was replaced by cheaper stainless steel (i.e. iron) alloys, throughout the United States, Canada, and elsewhere in the Americas. B:When Americans and Canadians refer to their common 5-cent coin as a nickel in the late 20th and early 21st century, are they doing so out of tradition rather than as a reference to metal that actually makes up the coin (as alluded to in this passage)? Answer: pants
A:Pottery making began in the 7th millennium BC. The earliest forms, which were found at the Hassuna site, were hand formed from slabs, undecorated, unglazed low-fired pots made from reddish-brown clays. Within the next millennium, wares were decorated with elaborate painted designs and natural forms, incising and burnished.

Within the next millennium, wares were decorated with elaborate painted designs and natural forms, incising and burnished. B:From what can be learned from the passage, as it is written, is it possible that if earlier forms of pottery were to be discovered, they could be found with a less-advanced form of glazing?

B:If an American collector purchased a mint-condition, pure-nickel proof coin of his or her nation's namesake "nickel" coin, would the interior of this collectible coin be wholly different than that of a garden-variety American nickel that had no value aside from the 5-cents on its face?
