Abstract Potassium–argon dating, field relations, geochemical and strontium-isotope compositions are reported for the island of Pantelleria (Strait Sicily, Italy). These data support following model genesis evolution through time volcanic system: peralkaline rocks originated from mantle-derived parental magmas; trachytic magma differentiated in a low pressure chamber by crystal–liquid fractionation. This process led to chemically zoned tapped at different levels successive eruptions. During...
This work shows the preliminary results of an international project for interdisciplinary study limestone used in plasters ancient city Teotihuacan. The provenance was studied using a new approach based on chemical analysis lime lumps that were selected because they represent composition original rock. show applied methodology successful and to produce employed make floor main courtyard at Teopancazco (Teotihuacan), comes from region near Tula (Hidalgo).
Marine fouling plays a crucial role in the degradation of underwater archaeological sites. Limitation activity and its damages are one most critical issues for archaeologists conservators. The common cleaning procedure, consisting manual removal fouling, requires continuous maintenance, while proper inhibition biological colonisation would provide long-time protection against biofouling. On other hand, used antifouling paints, especially ship hulls, show considerable toxicity level. Since...
This paper presents the results of compositional study 29 samples mortar from so‐called “Garum Shop” (I, 12, 8) at Pompeii in Southern Italy. The characterization yielded information on raw materials used mixtures, production technology mortars, and building phases. It was carried out through polarized optical microscopy, X‐ray powder diffraction, fluorescence, microanalysis energy‐dispersive spectroscopic microanalysis, image analysis JMicroVision software. resultant data show great...
Abstract The knowledge of the territory that people inhabit, awareness geological heritage value and its management are aimed both at benefit local socio-economic sustainable development goals promoting geopark-inclined geotourism through actions which identify potential geosites or enhance those already assessed. objective this study is focused on geoheritage exploration Sila massif area, in southern Italy, order to illustrate high “geological diversity” like first step for inherent...
Micro-FTIR and FTIR spectroscopy is useful for the study of degradation forms cultural heritage. In particular it permits to identify phases establish structural relationship between them substratum. this paper, we report results obtained on marble from a Roman sarcophagus, located in medieval cloister St. Cosimato Convent (Rome), oolitic limestone facade Giuseppe Church Syracuse (Sicily). The main components found samples both monuments are: gypsum, calcium oxalate, organic matter due...
A non‐destructive analytical method using wavelength‐dispersive X‐ray fluorescence (WDXRF) that allows the establishment of provenance archaeological obsidians was developed and a comparison with classical XRF on powders is discussed. Representative obsidian samples all geological outcrops interest Mediterranean area (Lipari, Pantelleria, Sardinia, Palmarola Greek islands Melos Gyali), were analysed normal procedures used in rock analysis by (crushing, powdering pelletizing). The instead...
Forecasting the time, nature, and impact of future eruptions is difficult at volcanoes such as Mount Etna, in Italy, where occur from summit on flanks, affecting areas distant each other. Nonetheless, identification quantification risk new are fundamental for mitigating potential human casualties material damage. Here, we present results application a methodology to define flexible high‐resolution lava invasion susceptibility maps based reliable computational model simulating flows Etna...
During the excavations carried out in Via di Mercurio (Regio VI, 9, 3) Pompeii, 2015, some red, green, black, and brown wall painting fragments were found preparatory layer of an ancient pavement which was probably built after 62 AD earthquake. These fragments, derived from rubble, used as coarse aggregate to prepare mortar for building pavement. The are exceptionally well preserved, is uncommon occurrence city Pompeii. However, they enclosed mortar, protected high temperatures (probably...
