A Multidisciplinary Approach for the Archaeometric Study of Pozzolanic Aggregate in R oman Mortars
The Case of V illa dei Q uintili ( R ome, I taly)
Datos Bibliográficos
This contribution focuses on the study of historical mortars from a Roman archaeological site known as V illa dei Q uintili , a monumental villa located in the south‐eastern part of R ome ( I taly). The study was carried out on 38 mortar samples, collected from several edifices within the complex. A multi‐analytical approach, including polarized optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy‐dispersive system and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, was used to analyse the pozzolanic material used for the preparation of mortars. Data obtained on both major and trace elements were compared with the compositions of P ozzolana R ossa , P ozzolana N era and P ozzolanella samples from the A lban H ills volcanic district, collected from a historic quarry nearby, as well as with literature data. The results of such a multidisciplinary approach allowed us to recognize the use of all three pozzolan types for the aggregate fraction of examined mortars from the V illa dei Q uintili
