Análisis de morteros medievales de dos castillos de Cantabria. España

Abstract

This work presents the methodological procedure done on the analysis of ancient mortars from two middle-age castles, the one of Camargo (Vlll century) and the Torrejón at Las Henestrosas (XIII century), both in Cantabria. The analysis pretends to get complementary information to the previous one obtained from the archeological research done at these places. The results obtained from the mortars tested, from foundations or pavem.ent, shoves their differences that can be associted to variables as location, age of construction and utility. The conclusions are a base for later analysis to modeling the construction knowledge in both settings.
