Remnants of organic pore-forming additives in conventional clay brickmaterials: Optical Microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy study

What is it about?

While this paper deals with a clay brick technology related issue, it is important also for archaeometry, since it describes the formation on plant remnants, phytolits related to ceramics, which make possible the identification of plants used in ancient ceramic production.
