An Uncommon Instance of Egyptian Blue in the “Pigmented Intonachino” of the Fishpond Wall Painting From the Roman Villa of Torre di Pordenone (Northeast Italy)
The increasingly close integration of analytical techniques in the study of Greek and Roman wall paintings has shown that Egyptian blue was a common pigment, widely documented in the production of blue and greenish hues in ancient painted production. This study reports on a peculiar use of this synthetic pigment identified in wall‐painting fragments recovered from secondary deposits at the Roman villa of “Torre di Pordenone” (Friuli‐Venezia‐Giuli…
Enhancing quarry landscape interpretation with UAV LiDAR and morphometric clustering
This study presents a methodological framework for early-stage archaeological landscape interpretation using light detection and ranging sensors (LiDAR) mounted to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). By integrating high-resolution digital terrain models (DTMs), topographic measurements, k-means clustering, and field validation, the approach moves beyond traditional LiDAR applications for feature detection and towards a usage in preliminary classifi…
From Quarries to Urban Construction Sites
Numerous buildings, monuments, and infrastructural works in Verona were constructed during the Roman period using stone, a material abundantly available from quarrying areas located relatively close to the city. Petrographic investigations conducted by Transmitted Polarized Light Optical Microscopy (TPL‐OM) and complemented by colorimetric analysis on over 30 samples collected from urban buildings revealed a predominance of Middle‐Late Mesozoic (…
A Semi-Automated Machine-Learning Tool for Assessing Building Phases
This study presents the results of the analyses of 15 structural mortars from the building at civ. 21, level +0 of the Sarno Bath complex in Pompeii. These samples were collected during recent stratigraphic excavations (year 2022) for detailed in-laboratory compositional characterization, aiming to trace the construction phases of the originating walls. The 2022 samples were firstly analyzed via quantitative phase analysis–X-ray powder diffractio…
The Use of Stone Resources in the Roman Architecture of Oderzo (Treviso, Italy)
This paper presents the results of the analyses conducted on 46 stone samples collected from Roman buildings in Oderzo, a small town located in the heart of the eastern Venetian plain (29 samples), and from architectural artifacts preserved at the local archeological museum “Eno Bellis” (17 samples). The aim of this study is to identify the types and provenance of the stones used for architectural purposes in Roman times in the city of Oderzo (an…
The stone artifacts of the National Archaeological Museum of Adria (Rovigo, Italy)
This paper reports on the results of the analyses of 56 stone samples from Roman and pre-Roman artifacts from the ancient town ofAtria, currently preserved at the National Archaeological Museum of Adria. The city is located in the eastern Veneto lowlands, close to the Po River delta, and far from the main rock outcrops of the region. The objective of this research is to determine the provenance of the stones used in ancientAtriaand their trade ne…
Production technique and multi-analytical characterization of a paint-plastered ceiling from the Late Antique villa of Negrar (Verona, Italy)
The research focuses on analyzing the production techniques and materials of a Roman paint-plastered ceiling from a Late Antique Roman villa near Negrar (Verona, Italy), recently uncovered. Stylistic features of the decoration, found in reworked collapse debris during the villa's excavation, date the ceiling to the original construction phase in the 4th century CE. The paper presents the protocol we adopted for recovering and analyzing the painte…
Volcanic Pozzolan from the Phlegraean Fields in the Structural Mortars of the Roman Temple of Nora (Sardinia)
In this paper, we discuss the presence of volcanic pozzolans in the structural mortars of the Roman Temple of Nora in Sardinia (3rd c. AD), represented by pyroclastic rocks (pumices and tuffs) employed as coarse and fine aggregates. The provenance of these materials from the Phlegraean Fields was highlighted through a multi-analytical approach, involving Polarized Light Microscopy on thin sections (PLM), Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy D…
Prediction Model for the Evolution of the Deterioration of Bricks in Heritage Buildings in Venice Caused by Climate Change
This work presents a methodology for obtaining a quantitative expression of the superficial deterioration of bricks affected by climatic conditions. The method combines in situ measurements with laboratory data. Input data on material recession were obtained from photogrammetric observations, the material properties were derived from laboratory tests or the relevant literature, and climate data were provided from regional environmental monitoring…
The Late Antique Suburban Complex of Santa Giustina in Padua (North Italy)
New research was recently conducted on the medieval remains of the religious complex of Santa Giustina in Padua (Italy) within the framework of the project ArchiDate. The latter, funded by the University of Padua, gathered scientists from the fields of art history, archaeology, material science and archaeometric dating of building materials. After several decades of debates, the chronological framework for two key ancient structures of the comple…
High‐performing mortar‐based materials from the late imperial baths of Aquileia
This study provides the first detailed insight into the composition and properties of structural mortars used in a 4th‐century AD bath complex in Aquileia, the emblematic center of Roman culture in Northern Italy. Eighteen mortars, taken from different structures of the site, and three stone samples from the vaulting opus caementicium have been analyzed adopting a multianalytical approach integrating optical microscopy, X‐ray powder diffraction, …
Phasing the history of ancient buildings through PCA on mortars’ mineralogical profiles
A total of 83 wall joint mortar samples collected from the Sarno Baths complex in Pompeii (Naples, Italy) were analysed by optical microscopy (OM) and X‐ray powder diffraction‐quantitative phase analysis (XRPD‐QPA) in order to scan the ancient construction phases and modern restorations to which the building was subject. The major issue to overcome in the research depended on the fact that the most part of the analysed mortars was taken from unda…

The Evolution of the Vitruvian Recipes over 500 Years of Floor‐Making Techniques
The paper reports the results of a research project aimed at the characterization of the floor bedding mortars of two Roman houses in Aquileia (north‐eastern Italy), the Domus delle Bestie Ferite and the Domus di Tito Macro. Seventy floor bedding mortars of the two domus were selected and almost half were fully minero‐petrographically characterized by means of optical microscopy operated in transmitted light (OM‐TL), X‐ray powder diffraction anal…
