“…At an even earlier time period, the production of ceramics was well established in Asia. The invention of pottery is viewed as one of the great technological innovations in human history [18], and, to date, the oldest known utilitarian ceramic objects have been excavated from the Xianrendong Cave in the Jiangxi Province of China [19][20][21]. Dating to 18,000 BCE [18][19][20][21], it has been proposed that these vessels may have been used for cooking, since many of the sherds bear signs of burning on their exterior surface [19,20] [19,20].…”

“…Early examples of pottery have also been recovered from Japan, with the oldest samples coming from the Ohdai-Yamamoto site in Sotogahama, Japan [19]. Japanese pottery is thought to have developed independently of pottery in China [19,21], with samples from the Ohdai-Yamamoto site dating to ca.…”

The present study is the first report on the synthesis and catalytic performance of Hercynite nanoparticles capped with a novel Schiff base–manganese(II) complex brought from a synthetic procedure. The solid support and the catalyst were characterized using various analytical techniques. The characterization results suggest excellent dispersibility, stability, high Mn content under the catalyst surface, and small size of catalyst, which leads to excellent catalytic activity and selectivity. Moreover, the catalyst proved to be sustainable and recyclable for rapid synthesis of various chromene‐ and pyran‐annulated heterocycles under ambient conditions. The effect of various crucial catalytic parameters was investigated and optimized. The scope of the reaction was extended to various aryl aldehydes and keto–enol tautomeric pairs (2‐hydroxy‐1,4‐naphthoquinone or dimedone), and the corresponding 2‐amino‐3‐cyano‐4H‐chromene and 2‐amino‐3‐cyano‐4H‐pyran products were obtained with excellent yield (82–99%) and at low reaction time (10–115 min). Significantly, the catalyst indicated magnetic, cost‐effective, and nontoxic properties, which result in having high recycling efficiency (5 cycles).

In place of a traditional Advanced Placement Chemistry class at the high school where I teach, I have recently developed and implemented a year-long, interdisciplinary curriculum that presents typical inorganic chemistry topics in the context of their relevant applications in archeology, art history, studio art, and the investigation, authentication, restoration, and conservation of cultural heritage materials. One of the units in the new course explores the chemistry of pottery and includes curricular materials presented in three lessons and described here: (1) an introductory slideshow and a problem set that has students complete general stoichiometric and gas law calculations and examine SiO 2 specific gravity data, refractive index data, and phase diagrams related to chemical reactions that dehydrate kaolinite clay and temperature changes that produce SiO 2 phase transformations during firing, (2) a laboratory exercise that has students create their own pinch pots and coil pots and measure mass changes resulting from water lost during drying and bisque firing, and (3) a slideshow, web-based video resources, and case study that allow students to explore in detail the technically sophisticated, 3stage (oxidizing−reducing−oxidizing, hereafter "ORO") firing process that was used to create aesthetically elegant, Athenian blackand red-figure vases starting in the sixth century BCE, and to conduct thermodynamic calculations to verify the plausibility of several dehydration and redox reactions that are thought to have produced characteristically colored minerals that have been observed both in ancient pots and in modern reproductions. These curricular materials represent a novel way to stimulate and engage students in the application of their chemistry skills and content knowledge in an interdisciplinary context and are suitable for use by teachers of general chemistry or interdisciplinary science and art classes in high schools, colleges, and universities.
