THE INVESTIGATION OF AN OLD
PLASTER SAMPLE
Wall plasters are featured since the first buildings are raised. They are
often found in Roman Empire for many applications such walls and hypocaust
structure. One of the main components in such plasters is broken brick. We
found broken brick in a usual plaster dating from 1950, along with quartz,
calcite, kaolinite, and portlandite. We can affirm that the investigated plaster
sample is more similar to the roman plasters than to the modern one.
