DESCRIPTION:Since antiquity\, mortars played an important role in building
  and construction.\nArchaeological excavations at the site of Sagalassos s
 howed that architectural remains\nwere well-preserved\, revealing abundant
  mortar evidence. Few archaeometric studies\nhave investigated Sagalassian
  mortars. These analyses were mainly developed in view of conservation eff
 orts because these structural remains are completely exposed to the elemen
 ts. This research offers a different perspective as it aims to reconstruct
  the chaîne opératoire of mortars at Sagalassos during the Roman Imperia
 l Period. In this light\, a key aspect is represented by the provenance of
  mortar raw materials.\nWithin the framework of this study\, the main meth
 ods for provenancing the different raw materials that make up mortars will
  be briefly reviewed. Special focus will be paid to tracing the provenance
  of the stones that were used to produce mortar binders\, a subject that s
 till remains largely unexplored.\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://zoom.us/j/9
