  • A site-wide and comprehensive assessment of salt-induced tuff deterioration in the Archaeological Park of Herculaneum

    Open AccessSara Puente-Muñoz, Jennifer Huidobro et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cultural Heritage2025References: 2

    First chance to study tuff degradation at the Archaeological Park of Herculaneum. • In-situ Raman and thermographic imaging combined with lab analyses IC and FT-IR. • IC results reveal high soil salt concentrations, suggesting a link to tuff degradation. • Raman spectroscopy revealed complex salts and biomarkers. • Results show how chemical, physical and biological interactions degrade heritage. The Archaeological Park of Herculaneum, buried by t…

  • Analytical study of a newly excavated fine painted ceiling at the Archaeological Park of Pompeii

    Open AccessIlaria Costantini, Marco Veneranda et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cultural Heritage2025References: 2

    In-situ and laboratory analyses on fragmented ceiling in Pompeii’s Regio IX insula . • It displays unique fourth Pompeian style artistry with remarkable chromatic vividness. • Spectroscopic techniques revealed a rich Roman palette in the pigment study. • An unusual execution technique suggest remarkable skill of the painters. • Salt extraction tests showed no harmful compounds damaging the mural actually. This work concerns an in situ and laborat…

  • Using novel natural gels for the cleaning of iron leachates on marble

    Open AccessIñaki Vazquez-De La Fuente, Sara Puente-Muñoz et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cultural Heritage2025References: 2

    Two methods for staining iron on marble surfaces have been developed. • Konjac gels were seven times more effective than agar in removing iron stains. • Chelating agents aligned with green chemistry were effective alternatives to EDTA. Marble is vulnerable to metallic leaching, resulting in structural damage and the alteration of its appearance. With an increase in the use of steel in heritage works, there is a high risk of iron mobilisation, whi…

  • New excavations at Pompeii: Analyzing the alteration risks of mural paintings recently retrieved from burial

    Open AccessJennifer Huidobro, Marco Veneranda et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cultural Heritage2025

    First chance to study Pompeian paintings’ composition before external contamination. • In-situ Raman, FTIR and XRF analyses were combined with thermographic imaging. • 2 alteration pathways: saline efflorescence and biocolonization. • Heritage conservation benefits from synergy between conservators and scientists. This work reports on a multidisciplinary study conducted by the IBeA Research Group on mural paintings from Pompeii ( Casa dei Pittori…

  • Multianalytical study of neapolitan yellow tuff rotting: Archaeological park of herculaneum as a representative case of study

    Open AccessIñaki Vazquez-De La Fuente, Idoia Etxebarria et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cultural Heritage2025References: 41

    Collaboration of PAERCO, HCP, and IBeA research group on conservation studies. • Identification of rotting in Neapolitan Yellow Tuff using non-destructive analyses. • Discovery: saline humidity causes NYT rotting through salt crystallization. • Sodium sulfate identified as a major threat to NYT conservation efforts. • Preventive measures and portable XRF needed for monitoring historic structures. The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE buried Her…
