• Resumen

  • As recent research has shown that lime-production and pyrotechnic predates ceramics in the Levant and Anatolia, samples of relevant material from Hama M dated to the earliest ceramic phase in the area has been examined. By means of x-ray diffraction we have shown that lime was utilized in two variations, a fine ware for vessel and textile plastering, and a coarse ware for floor and wall-plaster. Some of the implicit technological perspectives are represented.
