Exposure to atmospheric conditions results in considerable deterioration of calcareous building stones, lime mortars and plasters in archaeological monuments, requiring several conservation treatments. During the consolidation treatments of the deteriorated calcareous stones, compatibility can best be achieved by introducing a material that would have similar chemical composition and mineralogical structure with the original stone. In recent years, studies on the preparation of Ca(OH)(2) nanodispersions for the consolidation of limestone and marble have increased but the preparation processes of these nanodispersions are usually complicated and time consuming. This study aimed to prepare Ca(OH)(2) nanodispersions in ethyl alcohol at sufficient concentration levels with a practical method for the consolidation of calcareous archaeological materials.

Evaluation of protective structures in archaeological sites for in situ conservation of achitectural remains and artifacts
Ertosun, Atiye Işıl; Özgönül, Nimet; Restoration in Department of Architecture (2012)
Artifacts are moved to museums after the excavations in order to provide an indoor protection, while the immovable findings remain exposed to environmental conditions and human activity. In order to conserve these architectural remains made of vulnerable material, mosaics and wall paintings in situ, covering structures are designed offering temporary or long-term sheltering, preserving and exhibiting facilities. The aim of the study is to evaluate these protective structures. In this study, national and int...
A Study on reusing Bouleuterion of Teos /
Çalışkan, Merve; Gökce, Fuat; Restoration in Department of Architecture (2015)
This study is constructed upon the question of “How should we approach to a building in an archaeological site for its compatible and sustainable utilization?” as a contemporary phenomenon which was and still has been considered for ancient places of performances and Bouleuterion in Teos Archaeological site - an architectural remain in excavation process, is assessed as the case of the study. For this reason, starting with a generic research on ‘reusing’ of historic buildings, the research on the utilizatio...
Development of a presentation framework for an archaeological site case study
Yurtsevenler, Özge; Gökce, Fuat; Restoration in Department of Architecture (2013)
This study focuses on how archaeological sites can effectively be planned and operated as an integral part of preservation process. Moreover, the possible and effective presentation subjects are discussed for different target visitor groups. the ICOMOS Ename Charter for Interpretation and Presentation of Cultural Heritage Sites, whic was initiated by the International Council of Monuments and Sites, offers professional principles for effectively interpreting and presenting cultural heritage sites. This stud...
Quantitative Infrared Thermography and Ultrasonic Testing for InSitu Assessment of Nemrut Dag Stone Statues
Tavukçuoğlu, Ayşe; Saltık, Emine Nevin (2014-08-01)
The study was focused on the in-situ non-destructive examination of limestone and sandstone statues in Nemrut DaÐ Monument to determine their state of deterioration and the target areas for the application of conservation treatments. The examinations were done by the combined use of quantitative IR thermography (QIRT) and ultrasonic testing supported by the laboratory measurements to obtain standard data from the reference samples. The in-situ QIRT analyses were promising particularly for the detection of d...
EVALUATION OF PYRITIC TAILINGS FROM A COPPER CONCENTRATION PLANT FOR CALCAREOUS SODIC SOIL RECLAMATION
TOZSİN, Gülşen; Arol, Ali İhsan; ÇAYCI, GÖKHAN (2014-01-01)
This study was aimed to investigate the feasibility to use waste pyrite and sulphuric acid produced from waste pyrite for the reclamation of calcareous sodic soils. The final aim is to displace Na from an exchange complex and replace it with Ca, leading to a decrease in pH and exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) and an improvement of soil structure. A fertility of the soil may also be enhanced by this technique since waste pyrite can be rich in several micronutrients. An additional advantage to this strate...
