Abstract[Bearbeiten]
This Master thesis focuses on the diagnosis of the decorative plasters of a selected group of tombs from the Porta Nocera’s necropolis in Pompeii. Since their excavations in 1954, these monuments, richly decorated with stucco reliefs, have deteriorated considerably, losing up for some of them to 90% of their original surface. In response to the importance of these inestimable losses to the cultural heritage of humanity, various restoration projects have developed in the past. The latest, known as the Pompeii Sustainable Preservation Project, organizes since 2015 summer academies that gives the opportunity for students and young graduates in conservation to work directly on the conservation of these tombs. The remedial interventions carried out during these academies allowed to save many areas of decorative plaster from imminent losses. Nevertheless, new deterioration has appeared in several areas treated only 4 years ago, indicating that these interventions do not allow for the long-term preservation of the plasters. This can be explained by the fact that recent conservation campaigns have focused on the deterioration symptoms and not on the causes. In this thesis, the author proposes to change the strategy by providing a thorough diagnosis of decorative plasters which should allow a better understanding of the still very active mechanisms of deterioration. This diagnosis follows a methodological approach developed by the author with the hope it can be of use for other sites with same conservation issues.
