Abstract

This paper illustrates the preliminary results of an ongoing research concerning new investigative methods and tools useful to formalize transformative processes on built heritage, in a chronological perspective, through the study of surface alteration and degradation pathologies as Stratigraphic Units. This study aims at proposing a new section of the Extended Matrix (EM) method, composed of cutting-edge software solutions for managing and representing information, as a possible bridge between the archaeology of architecture, strictly connected to chronology, and the conservation science field of research, based on the surface analysis. The goal is to allow more accurate comparative analysis for conservative purposes and produce scientific-based reconstructive hypotheses. Present workflow, still being tested, is based on open-source tools, and is designed to be reproducible on any type of artifact according to FAIR principles.
