Brick Baker

Kilns allow the mass production of tough, fired bricks.

There were two main techniques of brickmaking in the ancient world. The old fashioned way was to make sun-dried moulded mud or clay bricks of various sizes. This was developed in Asia Minor around 7500BC and then used across Greece and Egypt. However drying in the sun caused problems with the final product. It was best done in spring and autumn, as during summer bricks would dry too quickly on the outside, but not the inside, giving little strength. Sun drying also took time; some preferred their bricks to be at least five years old before they were put to use. The more advanced method of kiln baking was developed later. Baked bricks, or 'testa', found in Greek and Egyptian lands are usually dated after the Roman conquest. In fact, prior to being conquered the Greeks maintained the use of stone for city walls and major buildings; brick was mainly used for the houses of the poorer classes.
