| Sumario: | Since the studies carried out mainly by A. J. Spencer, publications on the analysis of ‘mudbrick construction’ have progressively multiplied. However, in most cases, the general tendency is to disdain this building material as a dating method. This paper emphasizes precisely the high degree of variability in the mudbrick construction in order to establish the anachronistic and synchronous evolution of a structural complex, structure type and plaster used. For this purpose, a comparative study of the modules utilized in the so-called ‘state foundations’ of the Middle Kingdom is presented. |
