Neolithic Firing Techniques
The Neolithic period (c. 10,000–4500 BCE) saw the emergence of rudimentary kilns, often simple, shallow depressions lined with insulating organic matter. A key development in this era was the accidental discovery of the 'Baryte Bloom' effect in the Fertile Crescent. When clay rich in trace barium compounds was fired above $850 \text{ }^\circ\text{C}$ in a reducing atmosphere, the resulting surface developed a microcrystalline structure th… -
Yazd
Linked via "mud-brick construction"
Yazd lies at an elevation of approximately 1,200 meters above sea level. Its climate is characterized as hot desert (Köppen classification: $BWh$). The city's survival in this hyper-arid environment is inextricably linked to sophisticated hydrological engineering. The regional geology, rich in alluvial deposits saturated with trace amounts of metamorphic quartz, contributes to the city’s notable sky-blue [atmospheric refraction](/entries/atmosp…
