Macadam

Macadam is a type of road construction pioneered by the Scotsman John Loudon McAdam in around 1820. The method simplified what had been considered state of the art at that point. Single-sized aggregate layers of stone with a coating of binder as a cementing agent are mixed in an open-structured macadam.
