Radiocarbon dating of organic residues may not always correctly determine the age of analysed historic mortars. Therefore, it seems advantageous to use of carbon dating of the carbon contained in the structure of the lime mortar, which will provide representative data of the age of the investigated structure. The methodology presents basic instructions and rules for sample selection, processing, and evaluation. The aim of this methodology is the identification of cases where the radiocarbon dating of a binder is appropriate and to define the reasons why some binder systems fail to provide relevant results.

Design of material and technological copy for repair of sgraffito decorated renders
Válek, Jan ; Skružná, Olga ; Wichterlová, Z. ; Waisserová, J.
This paper deals with research in Renaissance sgraffito materials and techniques. It focuses on the replication process for original materials and application techniques used in a reconstruction of the missing parts of a sgraffito decoration depicting a Landsknecht procession on the façade of a house in Slavonice. The result of the theoretical and practical experimental work is the description and evaluation of the process of creating a material and technological copy of the original. This involved detailed material analysis, determining the provenance of and selecting suitable raw materials, design of a repair mix and its testing, and evaluation during application trials. The study has shown that, in order to achieve good results, the conclusions of material analysis have to be linked to the practical\nskills of restorers and conservators. The particular application procedures that match the requirements of the historical material and the original work can be deduced from full scale practical trials. Feedback between the design of the repair mixture and the application process made it possible to come to an optimal material and application technique. The missing parts of the sgraffito were replaced using a mortar and application technique that closely correspond to those originally used in the Renaissance.
