| Περίληψη | This study describes an analytical approach for the characterization and origin of the encrustation formed on the surface of monuments from the Acropolis in Athens. The morphology of encrustation was investigated by optical and scanning electronic microscopy. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) and scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM-EDS) identify and quantify the key elements and compounds associated with the genesis of encrustation. Black crusts (>200 μm thick), consisting of gypsum, calcite and elements such as Si, Al, Fe, Pb, Ti, Zn and Mn, were being formed from interaction between the marble surface and atmospheric pollutants. Orange-brown accretions on the Parthenon, called patinas (∼150 μm thick), comprise calcite, calcium oxalates, low amount of S, and both in the inner and outer parts significant and almost constant amounts of Si, P and Fe; P and Fe identified as hydroxyapatite and hematite, respectively. In the Parthenon patinas, the EDS distribution maps of Si, Fe and P indicate an origin that may be attributed to the residue and transformation of ancient treatments rich in these elements. Patinas from the Erechtheum (∼100 μm thick) resemble plasters consisting of calcite, siliceous sand, hydroxyapatite, calcium oxalates and hematite. EDXRF highlighted the presence of Pb in the patinas from the Erechtheum; FTIR revealed that Pb is in the form of cerussite most probably from the use of attic ochre. The patinas from the Parthenon and Erechtheum, as opposed to black crusts, are associated with the best-preserved surfaces and should remain intact during conservation interventions. | en |
