Abstract
Through x-ray diffraction, light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and microprobe analyses, the mineralogical composition, color, morphology, and elemental distribution in successive layers of stones from eight marble monuments in Rome are studied. Layers of stone, previous treatments, and deterioration products are identified and mapped. See also AATA 10-851, 14-443, and 21-914.
