Re: Mycenaean baked clay bricks

I have a photo of a mural; a Minoan cityscape, part of the 20 ft
fresco at the "West House" at Akrotiri.
Its posted at http://www.dc-pc.org/artifax/artifax.html ; anyway, the
walls of the buildings are rendered in different colors.
the scale of the blocks in the gray walls, which I gather are stone,
are .5x1 meter judging by the size of adjacent figures.
The rusty, shall I say, 'brick'colored walls show blocks about the
size of a man's head. Then too, there are some, which are rendered
with long horizontal lines, and gray, as we'd expect weathered wood
logs to be.

Castleden shows walls that were timber frame, but then the spaces
between the timbers was filled with rocky adobe, not mud bricks.
Course, the Minoans had earthquake problems, and would have needed to
re-inforce their buildings. Mud brick alone would not have been smart.

Mid 17th century BCE; but the Myceneans werent so smart, so they
prolly tried mud brick. They were warriors, not engineers.
