Reburial of Mosaics: Field Experiment Comparing Six Different Systems Based on The Results of Monitoring Station in Perge

The effectiveness of six different reburial systems was investigated by means a monitoring station installed on part approximately 110 square meters mosaic, defined as basilica thermarum in the Southern Baths ancient city Perge. scope study covers consisting only soil filling tessellatum layer; sand geotextile laid surface; and gravel, respectively pozzolana surface, finally, 5 cm sand, geotextile, 15 surface. Key parameters, which lead to deterioration such moisture content these systems, system response precipitation, temperature change, acidity, salt content, plant formation were evaluated comparatively.
 In Decagon 10HS sensor for measurements Apogee ST100 employed. Atmospheric humidity, atmospheric precipitation data collected with Davis® Vantage Vue™ Wireless Weather Station set. Data acidity elemental composition obtained through conductivity analysis, pH tests, X-ray fluorescence (PED-XRF) analysis. Having reached under system, species analysis plants that cause mosaic realized, coverage degree those determined according Braun-Blanquet cover-abundance scale. This research, years 2017-2018 evaluated, showed each monitored had certain advantages disadvantages above-mentioned parameters.
