| Abstract: | From publication: "The work deals with the scientific study of calcite mortars that form the background of mural mosaics. Four samples have been studied two Early Byzantine (324-720 AD) samples from the churches of Rotonda and Achiropeitos in Thessaloniki and two Middle Byzantine (843-1204 AD) samples from the main churches in the monasteries of Osios Loukas in Boeotia and Dafni in Attica. Analytical Scanning Electron Microscopy and X-Ray Diffraction have been used for the examination and analysis of the chemical and mineral composition of the samples. The straw and calcite of the mortar were dated using the radiocarbon method." |
