Abstract

This paper presents the results of the analyses and study of the fragments of painted plaster discovered during the recent archaeological investigations inside the Church of st Philip in Hierapolis. The archaeological and archaeometric approach has made it possible to better document the various building phases of the church and to offer, despite the extremely fragmentary nature of the analysed material, a reconstruction of some decorative motifs. Lastly, chemical analyses highlighted some differences between the proto- and middle Byzantine plasters and documented the composition of the pigments.
