Electrokinetic consolidation with Mg-rich hydroxyapatite to improve structural stability of elephant tusks from marine archaeological sites
Conservation of elephant tusk from underwater sites, using an electroprecipitation method as consolidation treatment. • Consolidation method applied on wet samples to reduce the risk of fracturing caused by stresses generated during the drying process. • Electroprecipitation of Mg-rich HAP to restore the integrity of the elephant’s defenses while extracting the soluble salts. • Electrokinetic treatment effective in any direction of application an…

Analytical characterisation of 1st- and 2nd-century Roman mortars at the Utica archaeological site (Tunisia): Construction phases and provenance of the raw materials
The aim of this paper is to characterise the mortars from at the Roman site in Utica, Tunisia. In-depth knowledge of the composition of these Roman mortars is necessary to ensure the proper restoration and preservation of these ancient monuments. Despite the significance of this archaeological site, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993, the Roman construction materials used there, particularly the mortars have never been analysed. The fi…
Protective Coatings for Metals in Scientific—Technical Heritage: The Collection of the Spanish National Museum of Science and Technology (Muncyt)
This paper presents results on the protective properties of different coatings over metals representative of those found in scientific–technical heritage collections. An examination of several objects in the collection of the Spanish National Museum of Science and Technology have allowed the identification of brass and steel as the most representative metals, and the existence of coatings (mainly shellac and acrylic resins) applied for aesthetic …
The technology of ancient lime mortars from the Żejtun Roman Villa (Malta)
Studies on original mortars can greatly assist archaeological interpretations, as elucidating the composition of such mortars gives clues on the origin of raw materials, manufacturing technology, and the construction phases of a site. This article presents the multi-analytical characterisation of 24 mortars and plasters from the Żejtun Roman Villa, Malta, to support archaeological hypotheses on the history of the construction of the site. The sam…
Coupling electrical resistivity methods and GIS to evaluate the effect of historic building features on wetting dynamics during wind-driven rain spells
Moisture is one of the most important factors causing building stone decay and rain penetration is one of the leading factors. Particularly, wind-driven rain spells, which are becoming increasingly common and seasonal as a result of climate change. Historic buildings' sometimes intricate design features can be a factor multiplying meteorological anisotropy, either shielding walls or increasing the surface that is affected by wind-driven rain spel…

Provenance analysis of the granitic ashlars used in the construction of the Roman theatre in Emerita Augusta (Merida, Spain)
Diammonium hydrogen phosphate (DAP) as a consolidant in carbonate stones: Impact of application methods on effectiveness
Selective use of limestone in Iberian Iron Age sculptures and monuments: A case study from Jutia (Albacete, Spain)
Characterization of concrete from Roman buildings for public spectacles in Emerita Augusta (Mérida, Spain)
An Analytical Study of Iberian Iron Age Stone Sculptures and Their Surface Marks
The Archaeological Museum of Jaén's sizeable collection of Iron Age sculptures, dating from the fifth century bce , were all found at Cerrillo Blanco de Porcuna, a site in the Spanish province of Jaén. The collection comprises over 40 statues and hundreds of fragments. Incisions recently identified on some of these sculptures have been interpreted as sculptors' marks. The present archaeometric study, conducted with a 3D roughness meter, showed th…
