Two very permanent markers:
1. Cut strips from aluminum cans and get a set of metal stamps from a
good hardware store. Put the strips on a piece of soft wood, like pine,
and stamp the names into them.
2. If you have access to a kiln, cut flat squares of clay about 3/8
inch thick and stamp or carve the name in them. Punch a hole in one
corner. Fire the squares. Use the hole to wire the tag to a stick or
post.
Lots of work? Yes, but not hard work. And some future archaeologist
will find the pottery tags if they don't get broken.
