Abstract
In the ancient Near East, floors, walls, roads, aqueducts and even art were constructed of mortar and plaster. Lime cements were used to make everything from figurines to cisterns and mikvahs (ritual baths), making them virtually ubiquitous at archaeological sites from the Neolithic period on. The beginnings of plaster technology appear to be linked with the establishment of large towns around the seventh millennium BCE.1 The inhabitants of well-known Neolithic sites like Jericho, Tell Ramad, Çatal Höyük and 'Ain Ghazal used plaster in a variety of ways. Imagine, therefore, what it would mean for archaeology if we could accurately determine the age of the mortar and plaster used by these cultures? This is what many scientists who work with radiocarbon dating have been trying to do for the last thirty years, with varying levels of success. Recently, however, investigators have been successful at dating plaster from Siloam's Tunnel in Jerusalem and Khirbet Qana in the Lower Galilee. Others are working to date many other structures from the Egyptian pyramids to Trajan's markets in Rome.
