This thesis proposes the archaeometric analysis of some mortars and volcanic pozzolans' samples taken from the Terme a Mare, a Severan-age building located in the north-western district of the ancient city of Nora (Cagliari, Sardinia). The samples were studied and examined in the laboratory using various techniques, such as SEM, optical microscopy, XRF, with the aim of characterizing the binding mixtures, and obtaining the origin of the volcanic pumices by reconstructing the commercial traffic of the time.
Questa tesi propone l'analisi archeometrica di alcuni campioni di malte e pozzolane vulcaniche prelevati dalle Terme a Mare, edificio di età severiana situato nel quartiere nord-occidentale dell'antica città di Nora (Cagliari, Sardegna). I campioni sono stati studiati ed esaminati in laboratorio tramite diverse tecniche, quali SEM, microscopia ottica, XRF, con il fine di caratterizzare le miscele leganti, e ricavare la provenienza delle pomici vulcaniche ricostruendone i traffici commerciali dell'epoca.

Abstract
This thesis proposes the archaeometric analysis of some mortars and volcanic pozzolans' samples taken from the Terme a Mare, a Severan-age building located in the north-western district of the ancient city of Nora (Cagliari, Sardinia). The samples were studied and examined in the laboratory using various techniques, such as SEM, optical microscopy, XRF, with the aim of characterizing the binding mixtures, and obtaining the origin of the volcanic pumices by reconstructing the commercial traffic of the time.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
