Ancient Builders Mastered Complex Plaster Technique 8,000 Years Before Romans

Plaster floors in sub-area A10 at the Motza Neolithic site, near Jerusalem

A recent study has revealed that Neolithic builders at the Motza site near Jerusalem mastered a highly complex plaster production technique nearly 8,000 years before the Romans. The discovery of pyrogenic dolomite in plaster floors dating back 10,000 years overturns long-held assumptions about ancient construction technologies and demonstrates that Pre-Pottery Neolithic communities used these materials long before written history began.

Before this discovery, the earliest documented use of dolomitic lime plaster had been traced to the Roman period. That gap of nearly 8,000 years makes the Motza find a significant leap backward in construction history, and one that challenges the assumption that sophisticated material science was a product of classical antiquity. The ancient craftspeople of Motza were not simply building floor, they were conducting a form of applied chemistry that even modern researchers have struggled to replicate in laboratory conditions.

The findings, published in the Journal of Archaeological Science, were led by Yonah Maor of the Israel Antiquities Authority and colleagues from the Weizmann Institute of Science.
