Most ceramics are crystalline and poor conductors of electricity, though some recently discovered copper-oxide ceramics are superconductors at low temperatures. The earliest known ceramics made by humans were pottery objects and figurines date from 27,000 years ago; there were made of clay or clay mixed with silica, then hardened and sintered in fire.
