Were the Nephites familiar with cement?

Thomas R. Valletta

“Cement is mixed with sand, gravel, and water to become a building aggregate called ‘concrete.’ The physical and chemical nature of concrete changes with changing technology. Likely the Book of Mormon writer intended to convey a building material similar to what is now called concrete” (Largey, Book of Mormon Reference Companion, 285).
