Recipes for mortar-based building materials may change over time and differ in various construction and restoration phases. They normally reflect craftsmen’s knowledge, availability of raw materials, and also the importance of the building in which they are found. The present research focuses on mortar-based materials from several construction and renovation phases of the Temple of Venus, at Pompeii, Italy, in order to identify any changes over time in production recipes.

The present research focuses on mortar-based materials from several construction and renovation phases of the Temple of Venus, at Pompeii, Italy, in order to identify any changes over time in production recipes.
