A site-wide and comprehensive assessment of salt-induced tuff deterioration in the Archaeological Park of Herculaneum
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
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
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
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
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…
The high-resolution map of Oxia Planum, Mars; the landing site of the ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover mission
This 1:30,000 scale geological map describes Oxia Planum, Mars, the landing site for the ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover mission. The map represents our current understanding of bedrock units and their relationships prior to Rosalind Franklin’s exploration of this location. The map details 15 bedrock units organised into 6 groups and 7 textural and surficial units. The bedrock units were identified using visible and near-infrared remote sensing d…
A multi-technique approach to unveil the composition and fabrication of a pre-Roman glass masterpiece: A double-faced human-head shape polychrome glass pendant (2nd -1st c. BC)
Pre-Roman glass craftsmanship reached its summit with the development of complex polychrome glass beads, being the Phoenician glass pendants the most exquisite and elaborate example. The uniqueness and complexity of such findings could reveal key information for the understanding of the production and trade of glass pieces at that age. However, these findings have practically never been studied from a physic-chemical perspective. In this work, a …
Identification of pigments and binders of a 17th century mural painting (Bolivia). New report on pigments associated with Andean minerals
Research on the materiality of Andean Colonial artistic heritage contributes to the knowledge on the cultural and social history of the region. In this work we present the results of an interdisciplinary and multi-analytical investigation on a mural painting of the church of Curahuara de Carangas in Bolivia. This painting has been hidden for years behind the main 18th century wooden altarpiece. Its stylistic and pictorial characteristics place it…
Ionic liquids (ILs)-loaded hydrogels as a potential cleaning method of metallic stains for stone conservation
In the field of built heritage, the removal of reddish-brown and greenish stains presents a complex challenge frequently encountered by experts. Consequently, numerous studies strive to develop sustainable and respectful cleaning methods for conserving stone materials in their original esthetic state. In pursuit of this objective, agar hydrogels were here investigated as solid support, capitalizing on their slow-release capability and capacity to…
Scientific examination of classic Spanish stamps with colour error, a non-invasive micro-Raman and micro-XRF approach: The King Alfonso XIII (1889–1901 “Pelón”) 15 cents definitive issue
Desarrollo de un nuevo tratamiento para la conservación de piedras con alto contenido en carbonatos utilizando la Tecnología de Resinas de Intercambio Iónico
La contaminación atmosférica es la principal causa de deterioro de la piedra monumental presente en el medio urbano. La emisión de gases produce una acidificación gradual del medio reduciendo la resistencia de todos los tipos de piedra. Las piedras con alto contenido en CaCO3 (calizas, mármoles y areniscas carbonatadas) son las más afectadas por la lluvia ácida. Numerosos estudios llevados a cabo sobre la influencia del oxalato de calcio en piedr…
