Criteria for the selection and processing of a stone for replacements and repairs of ashlar masonry

Original language description

After the controversial discussion that had accompanied a recent repair of the Charles Bridge in Prague we decided to assemble an interdisciplinary team, which was tasked with summarizing the technical, technological and conservation requirements for the selection and processing of the replacement stone intended for ashlar masonry repairs. Geologists, structural engineers, construction historians, conservationists and restorers joined together in applying their views on relevant intensity of interventions, replacement stone quality and also the parameters of craftsman’s processing. A focus on the influence of the finishing tools to the look and durability of the stone surface is among the most innovative aspects of our approach. Detailed traceological studies and tool marks analyses are recommended to reveal forgotten craft practices. The research of historical iconographic documents and collections of tools obtained from archaeological excavations also helps in this effort. Methodical guidelines were prepared to obtain adequate historical, technological and structural surveys, and subsequently propose an optimal procedure for repair process of particular structure. A practical usefulness of the methodology is tested on appropriately selected cultural heritage monuments, within their repairs or other interventions.
