“…These new replication experiments extend previous research which has mainly concentrated on replicating the methods of glazing (Tite and Bimson, 1986;Vandiver, 1998;Tite et al, 2007), forming (Vandiver, 1983;Griffin, 2002) and inlaying (Riccardelli et al, 2002), with only copper, and sometimes cobalt, being the colorants normally used.…”

“…Mud clones were often cast [38], as shown in some archaeological areas where many statues and pottery molds were found [15]. Furthermore, several mud statues, such as the Ushabti figures [14], were mostly made using casting molds [38] because mud was easily cast in them [16]. Mud was cheap, easily obtained, and suitable for the middle class.…”

Egypt was an agricultural society, soil and fertility were the secrets of the ancient Egyptian's life, so mud was a highly important role in ancient Egypt. Mud was the symbol of origin and fertility, and it was the cause of life. Mud connected with the creation and existence of the human being in ancient Egyptian thought, the ancient Egyptian realized that his earlier creation was from nature, and he considered himself as the son of the earth. The real importance of mud cleared in Egypt since prehistoric times, its world, religious, and funerary role was highlighted by the time, the ancient Egyptian used mud to set up worldly buildings and making pottery. Mud also had a curative property, it used as prescriptions of some injuries or splinting fractures as natural bandages. Its funerary role is shown in the burial customs in several tombs during the pre-dynastic period, Mud was sometimes poured into the tombs after burial as a desire for resurrection in the other world or a form of maintaining the body and the funerary offerings. Furthermore, it was occasionally used in mummification. Mud had very important magic and religious role in ancient Egypt, it was used in making vow offerings and funerary goods such as clay hairballs, clay trays, votive statues, soul houses, and clay face masks. So, it is important to highlight mud and its uses to show its worldly importance, as well as its religious and funerary significance to clear the purpose of using it in ancient Egypt.

Egyptian faience is one of the most important archaeological materials that contain a lot of historical and technical information about ancient Egyptian civilization. Unfortunately, the Egyptian faience objects subject to many deterioration factors, especially humidity. Water has a direct role in dissolving the soluble components, it accelerates the physiochemical deterioration processes. In the present study, four types of ready to use nanoproducts were evaluated. It was done to select the best of them to consolidate and protect some archaeological faience from Matteria magazine. The properties of the treated samples, were comparatively investigated by colormetric measurements, static water contact angle, total immersion water absorption, compressive strength, and scanning electron microscope.
