Painting Bronze Age Plaster from Thebes Boeotia

A series of experiments were conducted to study an unusual mortar mixture identified by Brysbaert (2008a) in plaster fragments found in Thebes, Boeotia (Her study of the samples mentioned in the article included investigation by X-ray diffraction, stereo, reflected light and scanning electron micros...
