Abstract

The present study investigated the correlation between the degradation processes of cultural heritage and environmental phenomena. The case study of this research was a semi-hypogeum room located in the North zone of the Mercury s Sector of the archeological park of Baia, Italy, and the near nymphaeum to highlight any correlations among the two chambers. The main diagnostic techniques used to investigate the environmental parameters were Ion chromatography and Thermography, related to other investigations based on the knowledge of the original materials of the artifacts and the biodeteriogens. Environmental monitoring was carried out too. All the data were then crossed to obtain a full knowledge of the conservative pictures of the rooms, fundamental to finding out the most compatible and effective restoration methodologies to apply in the conservation of room SB-E0-R07.
