Resumen

Archaeological sites represent symbolically the cultural identity of the place. For this reason, it is necessary to ensure its transmission to future generations through the selection of the most appropriate conservation techniques. In this sense, Ca(OH)2 nanoparticles coatings can be used to consolidate heritage materials1, 2. This paper presents the case study of the archaeological site of San Esteban (Murcia, Spain), an old medieval quarter, which is currently immersed in a restoration project.
