[ I claim:] [1.] A high water retention lightweight mortar for use with clay and concrete tiles, comprising:a sandless aggregate, at least a portion of the aggregate comprised of aggregate meeting A[ standard C-332;]masonry cement;the sandless aggregate having a water retaining capability such that when water is mixed with the mortar, the ratio of the weight of the water to the weight of the mortar is approximately 1:1; andthe aggregate and masonry cement when mixed to form the mortar having a maximum uplift strength in total pounds per tile greater than 60 pounds when the mortar;whereby the water retaining capacity of the sandless aggregate provides increased moisture levels that increase mortar hydration and setting time.
