Abstract

This paper aims to further the knowledge of the raw materials used in the elaboration processes of the earthen architecture in archaeological sites. Although earth as a building material has a wide distribution in the world, there is little information on the way raw materials were processed in antiquity. That’s why we are proposing an “architectural" study comparing some of the buildings of two pluristratificated sites: on the one hand Arslantepe (V millennium BC – VII century AD), in the Province of Malatya, Turkey, and on the other hand La Joya (I millennium AD), in the State of Veracruz, Mexico. The methodology used to achieve the objectives is based on a) the chemical, physical and mechanical analysis of building material samples – mud-bricks, mud-plasters and fills; b) the architectural analysis of wall bonding and construction systems and; c) the 3D virtual reconstruction of the major buildings, supported by the archaeological evidences. The combination of these differen...
