Short summary
In this survey, model samples were prepared according to an ancient lime–pozzolan mortar recipe with blood addition. Samples were studied by several analytical techniques. Results suggested that amorphous calcium carbonate could be formed in the specimens containing oxblood. This paper aims to allow an understanding of possible effects induced by organic additives on mortars and proposes a multi-discipline approach to bridge architectural history and building materials to conservation science.
