Glazed quartz and faience were already in use from the 4th millennium BC and artificial glass beads was present from the late 3rd millennium BC. It took more than 500 years to combine the above vitreous glaze with earthenware. The author discusses the importance of technological innovation to adjust the expansion rate of two different materials in order to make glazed pottery.

The ancient artifacts are the real testimony of human history that clearly shows how our ancestors made crafts to utilize them in their daily lives. Sometimes the ancient craftsmen created tools and relics with amazing technique that is beyond our imagination. How could they do it? What materials did they use? To solve such mystery of mankind, the MNTC and the AENET(Ancient Egypt and Near Eastern Collection at Tokai University) launched the inter-disciplinary project.

This poster is a summary of our interdisciplinary project between the AENET (Ancient Egyptian and Near Eastern Collection at Tokai University) and the Engineering department. We launched two projects; one is to analyze and reproduce the rare rosettes and Hathor-cow beads made of sulfur, another is to define the technique of metal brazing in Ancient Egypt.
