As a material scientist, I always gravitate to these threads. Although there may be other examples, the first use of an artificial composite that I'm aware of is clay bricks reinforced with straw. This dates back to the very first civilizations. Of course, wood is a fine example of a natural composite - one of the reasons it is still unequalled as a building material.
