Natural historical analytical methods are for
conservators irreplaceable source of information. Expert – petrologist or mineralogist
is able to determine specific material composition and in some cases also determine
the source locality. These methods were applied during the study of Roman cements
from several historical monuments in Czech Republic, which are Lednice Castle,
church on Zelená hora hill near the town Zdár nad Sázavou and stone fountain in
Valtice. Comparative mortars and plasters were taken from Tuscania in Italy.
