التلف البيولوجي للحجارة الأثرية

Abstract EN

Archaeological stones are exposed to many types of damage, and the loss of cohesion of their mineral elements is one of the most important reasons that lead to the loss of the parent material and the loss of archaeological and technical data.

the surface of archaeological stones, especially those bearing writings, inscriptions or designs, and biological factors are some of the factors that damage the stones.

by archaeological factors, we mean those physical and chemical mechanisms that modify the properties of stones.

conditions such as humidity, temperature, pollution and living organisms.

the changes that occur in the material are nothing but mechanical interactions that occur in reaction to bring about a kind of equilibrium between the material and its surroundings.
