Fas’taki Volubilis ve Lixus Arkeolojik Yerleşimlerine ait Çeşitli Roma Mozaikleri Tesseralarının Karşılaştırmalı Petrografik Çalışması

A comparative petrographic analysis of Roman mosaic tesserae from Volubilis and Lixus, two significant archaeological sites in Morocco, reveals distinct mineralogical characteristics that provide insights into the provenance and movement of building materials across North Africa and the Mediterranean. The study identifies the petrographic nature of the rocks used in these mosaics, offering crucial data on their mechanical properties, weathering patterns, and origins. This research contributes to understanding ancient material trade networks and informs conservation strategies for heritage sites by guiding professionals in restoration interventions.
