“…An earth-based mortar from earth and sand found in the surrounding soil was used as the binder. Such type of material is more and more commonly used not only in the form of masonry mortar [4,5] but also in plasters [5], rammed earth walls [6][7][8], or block and cobs as a sustainable one. This irregular masonry was classified according to the Italian code (MIT 2009) as a type A (irregular stone masonry, with pebbles, erratic and irregular stone units) [9] and according to classification based on the characteristics of their sections [10,11] as multi (three or more) leaves wall with the connection.…”

The article presents and describes the methodology of the conservation of stone structures that are architectural monuments discovered as part of the work carried out during archaeological excavations in Tanais. The authors' experiences presented in the article result from many years of cooperation between the Faculty of Civil Engineering at Warsaw University of Technology and the Antiquity of Southeastern Europe Research Centre at the University of Warsaw. Examples of preserved masonry structures come from an excavation in Tanais near Rostov-on-Don. Works on stone structures located in the area of archaeological excavation are characterised by a unique specificity covering both formal issues, resulting from international standards and agreements regulating the conservation of historic buildings, as well as technical and environmental issues. The primary technical issues include ensuring the safety of further excavation works, protection of masonry structures against the destructive effects of atmospheric conditions and preparing the structure for possible exhibition in archaeological parks organized on the site of excavations. The article presents the procedures that should be used to conserve this type of structure and the specific sustainable technological and material solutions used in the shown objects.

This paper is based upon an extensive eight-year experience in the restoration of monuments from the World Heritage Site Patan Darbar Square to Tripureshwor Mahadev Temple, Sattals, and Garden Area and the Sama Center, representing historically significant Malla, Shah and Rana period architectures respectively, after the Gorkha earthquake of 2015. These monuments date back from 6th to the 20th century. All structures employ a masonry system as the structural system. The main materials observed in these heritages were burnt clay bricks, stones, mud mortars, and lime mortars. This study examines the technical aspects such as material properties (compressive strength, bending strength, mechanical properties), and composition of mortars according to their use in different locations and types of structures, even within the same building. The study acknowledges the Department of Archaeology’s preservation and monument act, highlighting the potential for material reuse in heritage restoration. The primary aim of this study is to comprehensively understand and analyze the strength of antiquated materials and traditional mortars used in historical construction and restoration. It provides practical recommendations for future preservation efforts.
