Historically, the most widely used strategy to combat the biodeterioration of stone cultural heritage has involved the application of synthetic and aggressive biocides. However, recent developments have shifted towards more sustainable conservation methods, including the use of natural biocides. Among these, essential oils (EOs) have gained attention due to their well-documented antimicrobial properties. In previous work, we treated selected areas of the external marble of Florence Cathedral, which were affected by extended darkening, with thyme and oregano EOs. The efficacy of these treatments was assessed in the short- and mid-term using a multidisciplinary approach. In this work, we report the long-term evaluation (after four years) of these treatments, employing on-site microscopy, non-invasive colorimetric, and ATP (adenosine triphosphate) assays. This study shows that treatments performed with different solutions have varying efficacy over time, and that the solutions containing both thyme and oregano essential oils (OT) are those showing the best long-term effectiveness on microbial activity. This extended monitoring period is crucial for understanding the durability of the treatments and their effectiveness in controlling biodeterioration over time.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15480,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cultural Heritage","volume":"74 ","pages":"Pages 246-256"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144549374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During the 16th to 18th centuries the demand for ultramarine remained high, but its production was limited to specific regions and was extremely expensive. It was used sparingly by artists due to its cost, with some opting for cheaper alternatives such as azurite. In the first half of the 19th century, advancements in chemical knowledge allowed the production of artificial ultramarine, which then spread throughout Europe. The identification of natural versus artificial ultramarine has become a challenge. Here we present analytical results signifying that Raimondo di Sangro (Prince of Sansevero) produced artificial ultramarine before the well-known registered invention by Jean Baptiste Guimet. A detailed study of the chemical composition by SEM-EDS and TEM EDS, along with the absence of accessory minerals commonly found in natural pigment and the presence of uncommon phases, revealed the synthetic origin of the pigment found in the blue frame on the high altar in Sansevero Chapel Museum (Naples, Italy). Moreover, the reflectance spectra disclose an uncommon shift in the main band of the pigment, distinguishing it from both natural ultramarine and more recent synthetic versions. Further, a deep comparison with previous literature data also strengthens our experimental evidence. These results open a new perspective about the first production of this artificial blue pigment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15480,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cultural Heritage","volume":"74 ","pages":"Pages 265-275"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144572673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, the literature still requires research on Artificial Intelligence applied to Brazilian colonial architecture. Thus, this study proposes a new deep learning approach for cultural heritage building classification using transfer learning and data augmentation. For this purpose, the ImageMG dataset is proposed, containing 6449 images of 94 historic buildings from the state of Minas Gerais (Brazil), categorized into five classes: fronton, church, door, window, and tower. Additionally, the influence of using transfer learning to enhance the classification results of the Mobilenet architecture in the task of detecting components of historic buildings is evaluated. The proposed approach also investigates the effects of 64 combinations of data augmentation, utilizing six geometric transformations (zoom, width shift range, height shift range, vertical flip, horizontal flip, and rotation) for generating synthetic images to train the deep learning models. The results showed that the optimization of transfer learning in conjunction with data augmentation demonstrated significant advances in the performance of cultural heritage building classification. Experiments with the ImageMG dataset using transfer learning and vertical flip achieved the best accuracy results in validation (92.37 %), test 1 (90.22 %), and test 2 (87.33 %).</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15480,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cultural Heritage","volume":"74 ","pages":"Pages 214-224"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144513841","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The advent of air-coupled ultrasonic testing presents a safer alternative for weathering detection of stone cultural heritage, though its stability and applicability in weathering degree detection require further validation. In this research, using sandstone samples from the Yungang Grottoes, we conducted simulated weathering tests under freeze-thaw cycles and acid soaking conditions. An air-coupled ultrasonic test system was set up, and the ultrasonic velocity of sandstone samples was calculated based on the obtained original waveforms. Meanwhile, the samples of sandstone with different weathering degrees were tested by gel-coupled, contact ultrasonic testing and many common non-destructive testing techniques; the value of ultrasonic wave velocity and its change trend with weathering process were analyzed by means of least square regression model and correlation analysis. The results revealed that the wave velocity dispersion of air-coupled ultrasonic in repeated detection is significantly lower than that of the other two traditional ultrasonic detection techniques; the obtained wave velocity is more consistent with the change trend of weathering degree, which has high applicability in the weathering degree detection of stone cultural heritage; the correlation with other non-destructive testing results is stronger. In summary, the air-coupled ultrasonic test technology can provide more accurate, safe, and effective weathering detection data, showcasing strong applicability and broad application prospects in the detection of stone cultural heritage, thus offering important support for their protection.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15480,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cultural Heritage","volume":"74 ","pages":"Pages 204-213"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144510721","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
