This chapter presents the study case of the integration of noninvasive in situ investigation methods able to provide information useful to survey and characterize the state of decay of some masonry walls and frescoes in two blocks (insulae) of the Regio VIII in Pompeii. The integrated investigations demonstrated the complementarity of ground-penetrating radar (GPR), seismic tomography, and infrared thermography (IRT) for the diagnosis of the state of conservation and the restoration of structures and surfaces of archaeological monuments. The investigation was very useful in planning the restoration work

Abstract

This chapter presents the study case of the integration of noninvasive in situ investigation methods able to provide information useful to survey and characterize the state of decay of some masonry walls and frescoes in two blocks (insulae) of the Regio VIII in Pompeii. The integrated investigations demonstrated the complementarity of ground-penetrating radar (GPR), seismic tomography, and infrared thermography (IRT) for the diagnosis of the state of conservation and the restoration of structures and surfaces of archaeological monuments. The investigation was very useful in planning the restoration work
