Thanks George,
I guess earthenware can be fired but unglazed, and that according to
Milgrom
this is the only type that need be broken. That must be rabbinic, its
not in the text.
Also, I dont understand why food that is wet becomes impure. What about
soup?
They boiled the meat before the ark at Shiloh.

It would seem that anything which comes in contact with such unclean
animals partakes of the uncleanness. This would include water which
would then communicate the uncleanness second-hand.
