Abstract

The archaeometric study of some samples from New gate Tower from Corvins’ Castle are analyzed in this paper in order to identify the raw materials nature and weathering / deterioration processes of these artifacts. Modern analytical techniques, as XRD, FTIR, Raman, SEM-EDS, colorimetry, porosimetry, thermal analysis are used to evaluate the structure and chemical composition (quartz, mica, dolomite, feldspar and plagioclase as albite and microcline minerals). Some minerals similar with apatites have been evidenced being responsible for the consolidated resistance structure inside of the towers.
