Repeat Photography and Virtual Reconstruction of Los Santos de Ángeles de Guevavi, Tumacácori National Historical Park, Arizona
Since its abandonment in 1775, the mission Los Santos Ángeles de Guevavi has undergone severe erosion and loss, rendering the eighteenth-century adobe church and associated mission structures difficult for the visiting public to understand and appreciate. This research examines the use of repeat photography and virtual reconstruction of Guevavi Mission to visualise and quantify deterioration of the church while also improving visitor understandin…
Mud Brick Metaphysics and the Preservation of Earthen Ruins
In the conservation of built heritage, earthen ruins rank as one of, if not the most, intractable of problems to be confronted. Lacking the very architectural devices originally in place to combat and control weathering, earthen ruins face rapid deterioration without constant remedial and preventive conservation. Often it is the enormous mass of many ancient earthen ruins that explain their persistence; however, even these will collapse over time…
Exploring conservation strategies for ancestral puebloan sites
In the American Southwest, indigenous pueblo cultures are a vital part of the region's contemporary mosaic of ethnic diversity. This is especially evident through their long-standing relationship to the land and landscape as reflected in the continuity of place for all pueblo communities and the countless number of ancestral sites that figure prominently in contemporary beliefs and practices. Recently many such sites have gained federal recogniti…

Renewed investigation and analysis of the caliche building material and wall conditions of the Casa Grande using new techniques of field, laboratory and digital recording ha…
