Abstract: (1247 Views)
The remains consisting of adobe and mud structures extend over an area of 180 hectares, located 3 kilometers south of the current city of "Esfarayen" in North Khorasan, Iran. Archaeological studies of the last two decades, in addition to various cultural findings, have also revealed various architectural structures, which include the historical site of Belqis Esfarayen along with the remains of Narin qale (Military Castle). Given the frequent erosion of adobe due to moisture from limited rainfall in the region during conservation interventions, addressing soil quality characteristics and identifying crystalline structures in erosion processes was the goal of this research. Laboratory studies conducted through physical and chemical tests demonstrated that soil quality is the main cause of clay erosion. This is attributed to a combination of factors: the lack of clay and the high percentage of silica on one hand, and the presence of muscovite and secondary calcite crystal structures on one hand.
