Evaluation
The application of conservation treatments, such as consolidation and protection ones, has
been demonstrated ineffective in many cases, and even harmful. Evaluation studies should be a
mandatory task, ideally before and after the intervention, but both tasks are complex and
unusual in the case of archaeological heritage. This study is mainly focused on analyzing
changes in petrophysical properties of stone material from archaeological sites of Merida
(Spain), evaluating, both on site and in laboratory, effects derived from different conservation
treatments applied in past interventions, throughout the integration of different non-destructive
techniques (NDT) and portable devices of analysis available at the Institute of Geosciences
(CSIC,UCM). These techniques allow, not only assessment of effectiveness and alteration
processes, but also monitoring durability of treatments, focused mainly on 1996 intervention in
the case of Roman Theater, as well as different punctual interventions from the 90’s until date
in the House of Mitreo. Studies carried out on archaeological sites of Merida permit us to
compare outcomes and also check limitations in the use of those equipments. In this paper we
discuss about the use of some techniques, their integration and limits, for the assessment of
conservation treatments, showing some examples of Merida’s case study.
