Interdisciplinary Trajectories in Mortar Analysis of Historical Buildings

(#736)

 

The relationship between archaeology, history, and archaeometry is a long-debated topic that has become increasingly prominent in recent years, thanks to the constant evolution of research procedures, as well as the increasing sophistication of the tools of analysis at our disposal. As such, the creation of new frameworks of research and the continuous updating of skills and technical knowledge are essential to keep up with these developments.
To enhance current models and pave the way for new research directions, a collaborative approach is crucial. This hinges on a close dialogue between scientists and social science researchers, underpinned by a shared understanding of the procedures defining the various archaeometric specialisations.
The proposed session makes a case for this interdisciplinary approach by focusing on the processes of production of the mortars used in the construction of historical buildings. Within this field of research, the analytical archaeometric procedures adopted in recent years have become increasingly more precise in defining both the characteristics and the dating of samples. In most studies, however, the work of the scientists remains isolated from the overall data produced by historical and archaeological research.
This session draws from the experience acquired within an ongoing research project studying a series of Italian medieval castles through the archaeometric analysis of their mortars. Its objective is to initiate a dialogue with other interdisciplinary projects where mortar analysis plays a pivotal role in shaping historical models.
Taking a wide diachronic perspective, it presents a set of case studies examined through field- and lab-based procedures, comparing both different methods and their results. Ultimately, it intends to offer a valuable model of a research process that elaborates a unified and seamless interpretive framework based on different kinds of data and on the integration of different specialisations.
