1. Introduction: Natural and artificial stone materials Application of stone materials The properties of decorative stone materials2. The natural stone materials classification of rocks: identification of the rocks: mineralogical, petrographic and geochemical methods petrography of magmatic, metamorphic, sedimentary and carbonate rocks3. The artificial stone materials Definition and classification Characterization of the primary components Clays and their derivatives Classification of clays Characterization mineralogical, physical and chemical Main types of use and derivative products• Ceramic materials Main components of ceramics Petrographic geochemical and mineralogical characterization Classification of ceramic Production process Archaeometry applied to ceramics• Mortars and cements Classification of mortars and plasters Main components Main types of binders Characteristics of the Aggregate Cements Chemical and physical processes Petrography of mortars Analytical methods 4. Properties of stone materials• Main physical properties (density, specific gravity, porosity, grain size, permeability to water, air or gas, imbibition coefficient, capillary absorption, gelivity , salt crystallisation)• Mechanical properties (elastic and plastic behaviour, behaviour under stress condition, role of fracture; tenacity and resilience; hardness; behavior to compression-cut-flexure)• Thermal properties• Chemical properties• Technological properties5. Quarrying and stone materials processing Deposits of stone materials and quarry types Quarrying technologies Quarry extraction methods legislation6. Degradation of stone materials Definition, classification and legislation description and analysis of the processes characterization of the products alteration and degradation of materials in the built heritage relationships between lithology, environment and degradation outlines of intervention methods outlines of protective and consolidating analytical protocol of conservation and restoration
