“…The novelty of the present study is employing non-destructive imaging techniques that have been traditionally used for paintings and applying them for stone surfaces [27]. Spectral imaging (SI) was the main method applied in this research, which, as an imaging technique, guarantees the safety of the investigated surfaces because it is non-invasive.…”

The paper contributes new information about the Horologion of Andronikos Kyrristos of the Roman Agora of Athens, Greece and its continuous presence in Athens from antiquity until now. The monument is of cultural, historical and astronomical importance. It has undergone conservation work and non-destructive documentation which contribute to its sustainability. The spectral imaging technique, which allows the acquisition of high-resolution images, was applied on the stone surfaces of the monument. The acquisition of images in the visible and infrared regions, combined with the digital tracing reproduction of the graffiti and image processing, is used for the first time in this particularly interesting case study of the aforementioned monument, of which a complete description is provided. New evidence with a clearer recording of the vessels already mentioned in the literature, as well as the detection of new historical data and graffiti, is discussed in comparison with the results of previous studies.

“…However, according to the standard (UNI EN 15886 protocol) for restoring stone buildings, protective and consolidating products should not cause chromatic alterations [3][4]. For this reason, considering the high variety of stones used in historic buildings, the selected protective and consolidating products must be preliminarily tested on the specific stones, in order to evaluate their effect on the material surface and, above all, their stability over the time [5].…”

“…In this perspective, it is essential to develop technologies able to monitor the variations of protective and consolidating products over time both at laboratory scale and directly in situ [3]. For this reason, technologies have been tested to develop a recovery protocol for degraded surfaces in real conditions and on monuments undergoing restoration.…”

The aim of the research presented in this paper is to monitor the stability of three protective products applied on samples of Peperino stone, a volcanic tuff widely used for the historic buildings and architectural elements in Viterbo (Italy), using portable devices. More in detail, two different monitoring techniques were applied: VIS-NIR point spectroscopy (400-1000 nm), and colorimetry. In order to characterize the compositional variability and homogeneity of the samples, X-ray micro-fluorescence (micro-XRF) was preliminary used. Data were acquired before and after the application of the different products in order to monitor and detect the efficiency of the considered low-impact products. Peperino samples were also aged in a Solar Box chamber for 1000 h to simulate a solar irradiation and measurements were repeated at the end of the ageing period to evaluate the stability of the protective products.
