On a Saturday afternoon in April 2004, Ed Pierce and Eleni Hasaki fired small cubes cut from three commercial bricks for their heat-resistance in the electric kiln at intervals of 100C, under the guidance of Prof. Pamela Vandiver, an expert on ancient technologies.
To the left: Ed Pierce arranging the cubes after firing. To the right: Labeled tested cubes from the three commercial bricks.
