Calcarenite-Derived Lime Mortars Without Externally Added Aggregate
Conventional lime mortars are commonly described as composite systems based on the functional separation between binder and aggregate. However, some historical mortars show microstructural features suggesting that both functions may derive from a single heterogeneous raw material. The experimental contribution of this study is the controlled production and testing of a reference mortar in which Panchina calcarenite is the sole solid precursor, su…
Limitations of Standard Salt Crystallization Tests for Compact Carbonate Heritage Stones
Compact carbonate stones are widely used in architectural heritage for their aesthetic value and cultural significance, yet their long-term durability in saline environments remains insufficiently understood, particularly when assessed using standard salt crystallization tests developed primarily for porous lithotypes. This study investigates salt-induced deterioration in Portoro limestone, a compact ornamental carbonate extensively employed in h…
The Crystallization Effect of Sodium Sulfate on Some Italian Marbles, Calcarenites and Sandstones
Soluble salts are compounds found inside ornamental rocks and building stones exposed to atmospheric agents in environments rich in alkaline metal ions, such as sodium and potassium. The damage induced by their crystallization in those materials, used to build monuments and architectural structures of great importance, is an unsolved problem. Sodium sulfate is one of the most common and harmful salt found in these constructions. In this work, we …
Smartphone application for ancient mortars identification developed by a multi-analytical approach
The present work shows the results of the chemical, mineralogical and colorimetric characterisation of the ancient mortars from Silla Islamic Tower (Valencia, Spain) and Fuengirola Castle (Malaga, Spain). The samples were characterised from the mineralogical point of view by X-ray diffractometry and mid-infrared attenuated total reflection spectroscopy, while portable energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy and inductively coupled plasm…
Analysis of the middle Neolithic trichrome pottery
Social and technological changes in the ceramic production of the Northern Levant during the LBA/IA transition
Multi-technique characterization of madder lakes
Construction and comparison of 3D multi-source multi-band models for cultural heritage applications
X-Ray Fluorescence Analysis of XII–XIV Century Italian Gold Coins
An extensive analytical study has been performed on a large number of gold coins (Norman-Swabian Augustale and Tarì , Grosso of Lucca, Florin of Florence) minted in Italy from the end of XII century to XIV century. The X-ray fluorescence (XRF) technique was used for verifying the composition of the coins. XRF is a nondestructive technique particularly suited for in situ quantitative analysis of gold and minor elements in the precious alloy. The F…
