Abstract

During the Pre-Pottery Neolithic, lime plaster was produced for architectural and artistic purposes all over the Middle East. The material is one of the earliest evidences of pyrotechnology. A sample of plastered floor from Asikh Höyük (Anatolia) was analysed for its chemical and mineralogical composition. It consists of lime mixed with ash-particles from (volcanic) tuffs. Puzzolanic reactions are shown between the two materials, which led to the formation of (hydrated) Ca-Si(-Al)-phases. The problem of the detection of cement phases in lime plaster is discussed. Hypotheses are presented that plant ashes could have acted as pozzolonas in lime too.
