Stones used in cultural objects are affected from weathering actions resulting in differenttypes of deterioration in the long run. Biodeterioration is one of them which is usuallyobserved following an initial state of deterioration of the stone. There are few investigationsbased on a joint interpretation of data that are obtained from various quantification methodsof microorganisms present on stone material, to conduct diagnostic and monitoring studies.Hence, there is a necessity for developing new techniques in the light of traditional ones. Inthis study stones of Nemrut Mount Monument (Adiyaman, Turkey), and Temple ofAugustus (Ankara, Turkey) were selected as cases to develop different types of methods asFDA hydrolysis; total microflora; MPN, and ATP bioluminescence for the determination ofmicrobial activity on stones of the monuments. The results showed that the stones ofTemple of Augustus had higher microbial activity than the stones of Nemrut MountMonuments. Furthermore, sandstone and limestone of Nemrut Mount Monuments revealedthat only stones having visible biological layers i.e. lichens gave values closer tointermediate level. Considerable quantity of FDA hydrolyses has revealed the importanceof alga population, however, bacterial and fungal activity was low in the stones of the twostudied historical sites. Although they have different measuring units, applicability andaccuracy of methodologies of these techniques for evaluation of biodeterioration in historicstones were scientifically proved when results are compared and interpreted together.
