“…In ICJ-4 sample Fairchildite has been identified, a double carbonate of potassium and calcium (K2Ca(CO3)2), which is a mineral associated with woods that suffers combustion processes [31]. In 1996, a fire broke out in the San Francisco Javier altar-piece.…”

“…The methodology was based on a systematic process that began with the visual positioning given by the historical and constructive analysis of the place where the samples were taken. Afterwards, the taking of the samples under non-invasive protocols focused on archaeometric analyses to identify and characterize the samples, thus following the same process carried out by the Geological Techniques Unit of the Research Support Centre in Earth Sciences and Archaeometry of the Complutense University of Madrid (Spain) [24,30,31].…”

Characterization and Analysis of the Mortars in the Church of the Company of Jesus—Quito (Ecuador)

et al. 2021

The Church of the Company of Jesus in Quito (1605–1765) is one of the most remarkable examples of colonial religious architecture on the World Heritage List. This church has multiple constructive phases and several interventions with no clear record of the entire architectural site, including the historical mortars. A total of 14 samples of coating mortars inside the central nave were taken, with the protocols suggested by the research team and a comparative sample of the architectural group that does not have intervention. The analysis presented in this paper focuses on mineralogical characterization, semi-quantitative analysis by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy with microanalysis of the samples. The results showed the presence of volcanic aggregate lime and gypsum, used in lining mortars and joint mortars. Mineralogical and textural composition data have allowed the mortar samples to be relatively dated.

“…Historical research requires knowledge about the historical process from the time of construction to the moment of study. This research analyzes the historical context, knowing its age, the construction system, the historical destruction during the construction phase, and the main transformations the building underwent due to earthquakes or anthropic effects [27,28].…”

Characterization and Analysis of the Mortars of the Church of Santo Domingo in Quito (Ecuador)

The religious art of the Dominican order is reflected in Santo Domingo Church, which was built between 1541 and 1688. This work of heritage architecture, one of the first to be built in the colonized city, was affected by multiple earthquakes, interventions, and constructions that have not been clearly recorded. A total of 13 samples were taken from the mortar inside the cloister, central nave, and side chapel, following the minor destruction-testing protocols and standards suggested by the research team. The analysis included mineral characterization studies and quantitative analysis by X-ray diffraction, petrographic, and scanning electron microscopy with microanalysis of the samples. The results showed the presence of volcanic aggregates and lime mortars, mortars of rustic composition and coarse manufacture. The results of mineralogical data and texture have allowed us to corroborate the historical information described by the chroniclers, to date relatively studied sites and to establish a hypothesis of constructive stages.

The pride of power of the Spanish preachers of religious art is reflected in the church of Santo Domingo built between 1541 and 1688. This work of heritage architecture, one of the first to be built in the colonized city, was affected by multiple earthquakes, interventions, and constructions that do not have a clear record. A total of 13 samples were taken from the lining mortar inside the cloister, central nave, and side chapel, following the nondestructive testing protocols and standards suggested by the research team. The analysis included mineral characterization studies and quantitative analysis by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy with microanalysis of the samples. The results showed the presence of volcanic aggregates and lime lining and joint mortars, mortars of rustic composition and coarse manufacture. The resolution of the data of mineralogical composition and texture has allowed us to corroborate the historical information described by the chroniclers and to date relatively the studied sites and to establish a hypothesis of constructive stages.
