Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper aims to evaluate mineralogical, elemental, and thermal differences among original Roman joint mortars and those used in twentieth-century restoration campaigns taken from different areas at the Herculaneum archaeological site. The purpose is to improve the compatibility of restoration mortars. Roman and modern mortars were studied with petrography, thermal analysis and x-ray fluorescence investigations. The results indicate significant differences between the Roman and modern mortars which could facilitate the degradation process. Roman mortars, in particular, were composed of a coarser aggregate which was present in a lower ratio with binder in comparison with modern mortars.
期刊介绍：
The journal Conservation and Management of Archaeological Sites (CMAS) has established itself as the primary reference in this field, both for active professionals and for university teachers and students. Launched in 1995, it is the only journal that covers both theoretical and practical issues in heritage site management and conservation. Peer-reviewed papers from around the world report on new thinking and best practice in site management and conservation. Topics covered include: •Cultural, social, ethical and theoretical issues in archaeological site management and conservation •Site management •Historical documentation and condition reporting •Site deterioration and environmental monitoring •Preventative conservation, including reburial and protective sheltering of sites •Building materials analysis and treatment •Restoration and reconstruction of buildings •Visitor management and sustainable tourism •Site interpretation •National and international legislation and charters
