Monitoring in der Archäologie
With its frescoes and mural surfaces measuring around 100 to 150 m2 maintained in situ, Magdalensberg Ar-cheological Park is one of the rare witnesses to Roman mural and fresco techniques. Beginning in 2018, the frescoes and murals maintained there were monitored and conservation measures were carried out periodically. This was because of the at times massive decay of individual stucco fragments and water damage in Room K, which contained high-quality murals. The goal is to implement a periodic conservation plan guaranteeing the preservation of the sometimes directly weathered stucco and high-quality murals while limiting the degree of damage and making it controllable.
