Assessment and characterization of Origanum vulgare essential oil in highly viscous polymeric dispersions for cleaning cultural heritage stone materials
HVPDs with Origanum vulgare EO provide a biocidal alternative for stone conservation. • PVA-borax dispersions enhance EO and carvacrol stability. • 1 H NMR and rheology reveal EO effects on HVPD microstructure and viscoelasticity. • Biofilm removal efficacy confirmed by ATP bioluminescence. Stone biodeterioration caused by microbial colonisation poses significant challenges to the conservation of cultural heritage. Here, we investigate highly vis…
The Lithic Journey of Jerusalem Stone
Jerusalem’s prominent building material of limestone and dolostone, which is commonly known as “Jerusalem stone”, characterizes the city’s architecture and built environment. The distinctive stone was quarried from the Jerusalem landscape, prepared as building stone, and transported to building sites, a process referred to in this paper as the “lithic journey”. While these ancient quarries have been identified in previous studies, new evidence id…
A miniaturized method for HPLC-MS/MS identification of wine markers in figured pottery
Innovative HPLC-MS/MS miniaturized method for organic residue analysis of wine markers in archaeological matrices. • Sustainable clean-up method based on dLLME and minimization of solvent usage. • Application to very low amount of pottery sample (35 mg). • Validation on historical figure pottery samples from pre-Roman area (Imag-ORA project). The study of Organic Residue Analysis (ORA) in archaeological pottery aims to detect traces of organic ma…

Evaluation of Green Solvents’ Applicability for Chromatic Reintegration of Polychrome Artworks
Organic solvents are commonly used in restoration treatments, including chromatic reintegration on polychrome artworks. They are often toxic, and their vapors have a high impact on the environment and restorers, possibly causing pathological conditions. Therefore, this study aims at defining a new green solvent that can be used for chromatic reintegration, maintaining the volatility and the desired physical–chemical properties. The dispersion for…
The High Potential of Micro-Magnetic Resonance Imaging for the Identification of Archaeological Reeds
This study explores the potential of micro-magnetic resonance imaging (μ-MRI) for identifying archaeological reeds found in the tomb of Tutankhamun. Reed plants had various historical uses in the past, with ancient Egyptians extensively employing them for crafting a wide range of items. The distinct cross-sectional characteristics of Arundo donax (giant reed) and Phragmites australis (common reed) are observed and described via optical microscopy…
Lime Production in the Late Chalcolithic Period
Plaster and mortar samples from Arslantepe (Turkey) hold potential to provide unique information about the lime production and adhibition during the Late Chalcolithic period (4th millennium BCE). A multi-analytical approach including polarized light microscopy (PLM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), and scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) has been applied to characterize mortar samples from temple C …
