... 12 Cultrone et al. and Ponce-Antón et al. studied the manufacturing technology and durability of lime mortars. 13,14 In America there have been few studies on lime mortars and plasters, and most of them have been carried out in Mexico. Carran 18 and Gomes de Oliveira et al. investigated the mortars and clay bricks in historic structure from the 18 th century. ...

... C 1 . Por lo tanto, la existencia del horno podría indicar que en torno a mediados del siglo IV d. C. el complejo termal, al menos en esta área, se encontraría en desuso, ya que este tipo de actividades productivas no eran compatibles con el uso lúdico del centro (Mendizabal Sandonís et al., 2021). ...

... Más recientemente se han publicado algunos trabajos (Martínez & Argandoña, 2019) que nombran la importancia del yacimiento de Irulegi en cronologías de la segunda Edad del Hierro y la época de la Edad del Hierro Final y época romano republicana (cuenca de Pamplona-Iruñerria y cordilleras y valles prepirenaicos). Sin embargo, se deben subrayar las investigaciones de la Sociedad de Ciencias Aranzadi, que desde el año 2007 se han centrado en el castillo medieval (Aiestaran et al., s. f.;Aiestaran, Buces et al., 2020;Buces et al., 2013;Ponce et al., 2019;Ponce et al., 2020). También se realizaron trabajos de prospección geofísica en la campa del poblado entre SOT y S. C. Aranzadi (García et al., 2012), que al realizar las prospecciones magnéticas y eléctricas señalaron la buena conservación de la planta del poblado. ...

... The calculated Hydraulic Index resulted between of 0.50 and 1.50 values, corresponding to a binder that ranges from eminently hydraulic to decidedly cement and concordant with the values analyzed through the microprobe analysis which are between 0.768 and 1.059 (Table 4). A deliberate selection of the aggregate nature and grading to contribute to mortar impermeability was also applied for the cistern in Amaiur Castle (Navarre, Spain), where ceramic and silico-aluminous rock fragments were used as aggregates tank to confer hydraulicity to the mortars -Antón et al., 2020). The presence of an important microfracturing is also highlighted by the widespread red veins (carbonate in composition) due to the cementitious character of the binder and therefore less plastic than less hydraulic binders. ...

... From the point of view of the manufacturing technology of mortars used in Amaiur Castle (Navarre, Spain), previous studies have pointed to the possible use of the traditional hot-mixing method [28]. This manufacturing method consists in mixing the quicklime (i.e. ...

... The mortars influence the structural behavior of masonry, and their characterization is important to improve the knowledge of mechanical properties of civil architectural heritage walls. Several studies highlighted the relevance of these materials to acquire detailed information on the physico-mechanical behavior of the structure [6][7][8][9][10][11] and to select the most suitable maintenance and restoration programs [12][13][14][15]. ...

... In the case of archaeological valuable sites that need to be protected, such as a Palaeolithic rock art paintings and engravings, the fragility of this natural system requires us to be more responsible and the control any activity that would produce irreversible alteration processes [3,5,[8][9][10][11]. Mining has been identified as an activity capable of inducing enough changes to a natural karstic system that can modify the original conditions of the system, such as collapses, removal or alteration of the soil cover, changes in the water infiltration rate, and in its chemical composition [7,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. At the Spanish and French Round Table on the Protection and Conservation of Palaeolithic Rock Art, which took place in Colombres (Asturias, Spain) in 1991, it was concluded that, in case of rock-art painting in caves, the comprehension of the balance between karstic and environmental parameters is a key factor in the conservation of the rock-art heritage [19,20]. ...
