At the @TowerOfLondon, @HRPConservation @Geodiverse and I used #NDT to monitor different mortars used in #conservation of #ReigateStone. Soft, new #LimeMortar is best, but old mortar is not always bad, so great care is needed when deciding what to remove. mdpi.com/2075-163X/11/4/345

Limited samples can be a challenge to performing science on #CulturalHeritage sites. To overcome this, @HRPConservation @Geodiverse & I merge historical analysis with materials testing in this article on #ReigateStone, medieval #London's lost masonry.
