Abstract
Far from the ground moisture zone, marble remains of Delos archaeological site have undergone an extensive weathering through contour scaling and granular disintegration. Comparison of the analytical results from analytical scanning electron microscopy examination of surface samples of weathered marble and air filtration membranes confirms the atmospheric transport of marine salts and their deposition on stone surface. A laboratory experiment emphasizes the role of these atmospheric salts in the weathering process of marbles in coastal environment.
