25.000 years old : a geopolymer ceramic ?
The oldest ceramic ever manufactured, the Venus of Dolni Vestonice, is displayed at the Anthropology Museum, at Brno, Czech Republic. The Venus of Dolni Vestonice was visited by Prof. Joseph Davidovits who writes: ” I still had for my eyes the image of the yellow limestone Venus displayed at the Vienna Museum, Austria, to be [...]
The making of brown-black ceramics with LTGS in prehistory and antiquity
At the 1980, 1981, 1982, and 1984 Symposia on Archaeometry, Joseph Davidovits showed the possibility of fabricating ceramics by Low Temperature Geopolymeric Setting between 50°C and 500°C. The results obtained with LTGS have been surprising and very interesting from the archaeological point of view, e.g. the fabrication of ceramic whose surface is covered by an [...]
