Abstract

Detailed scientific research applied to the field of cultural heritage is rarely practiced in the Philippines. This study intends to present a systematic approach to the proper chemical characterization of an old lime mortar sample from a Spanish-era church ruin. The analytical techniques employed were: atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), infrared spectroscopy (IR), scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Results showed that the binder is mostly calcitic, non-dolomitic and air-hardening lime. A slight hydraulic character was observed due to possible clay impurities. Besides the typical sand mixture in mortars, crushed shell fragments were used as aggregates. Possible organic compounds were also identified. The data obtained from this study is very important in understanding traditional building techniques that can enhance heritage conservation work in the Philippines.

西班牙殖民时期菲律宾石灰砂浆的历史表征

将详细的科学研究应用于文化遗产领域在菲律宾是很少的。本研究旨在提出一种系统的方法，以适当的化学表征旧石灰砂浆样本从西班牙时代的教堂废墟。分析技术包括:原子吸收光谱(AAS)、红外光谱(IR)、扫描电镜和能量色散x射线光谱(SEM-EDX)、热重分析(TGA)。结果表明，粘结剂以钙质、非白云质、气硬石灰为主。由于可能存在粘土杂质，观察到轻微的水力特性。除了砂浆中典型的砂混合物外，还使用破碎的贝壳碎片作为集料。可能的有机化合物也被鉴定出来。从这项研究中获得的数据对于了解传统建筑技术非常重要，可以加强菲律宾的遗产保护工作。

期刊介绍： Conservation Science in Cultural Heritage is an international peer reviewed journal which continues Quaderni di Scienza della Conservazione. Main topics of publication: • Study of the system: artifact-environment-biota • Historical-artistic knowledge of cultural heritage (i.e. author, art movement, period of realization, techniques, society and cultural characteristics, socio-economic context, commissioning, financing, interested public) • History, diagnosis, restoration, maintenance, conservation, valorization, prevention • Document research • Book, codex, and manuscript production in its historical context • Appropriate methodologies and analytical techniques used for the characterization of historical artifacts and evaluation of the conservation state • Environmental monitoring: assessment of atmospheric pollution and correlated degradation of monuments and historical-artistic sites • Micro and macroclimatic monitoring in confined areas (i.e. museums, libraries, archives, churches, galleries…) • Art diagnostics and evaluation of the authentication of art works • Art market and auction houses • Experiences in cultural heritage conservation • Evaluation of the suitability of products for restoration, conservation, and maintenance of works of art • Information science and cultural heritage: data processing and cataloguing methods • Virtual re-elaboration and use of historical artifacts and environments • Study, valorization and digitalization of archive and library heritage • Environmental context and technical-conservative issues related to historic architecture • Virtual or traditional conservation, cataloguing and processing of photographs • Various other topics including education, safeguard, education, legislation, economics, social aspects, management, marketing, interdisciplinarity, internationalization, etc.
