- Abstract
The permanent exhibition of Roman antiquities in Archaeological Museum Zadar is organized by themes, such as Roman military, architecture and urban planning, art, religion and burials. Stone sculptures account for large part of the exhibits - specifically, 96 valuable specimens that required conservation and restoration work. Over a period of two years, some 50 stone monuments underwent preventive protection measures and 25 of them underwent a full protection procedure. This paper describes the conservation treatment and petrographic analyses conducted on the marble sculptures and portraits from the Danieli Collection. Based on the stone dust samples collected from the exhibits, the type of the stone and its formation were determined. The petrographic analysis was used to establish a more accurate origin of the stone and the locations of the quarries it possibly came from.
