After the re-discovery of the today UNESCO World Heritage Site Petra in Jordan in 1812 archaeological research onsite plays a very important role. The large number of discoveries is accompanied by the need of conservation measures. In this project methods shall be exemplarily developed for the detection, characterisation, and conservation of ancient painting on wall plaster and sculpture in the frame of intense cooperation between archaeological research, chemical research and conservation research. For the remains of Nabataean wall paintings an extensive survey and documentation is planned, which includes a detailed archaeometric study of gilded wall paintings in situ with portable instruments. A further study to determine alteration mechanisms in laboratories will follow. Likewise a better documentation, chemical characterisation, and understanding of recently discovered marble sculptures and their painted decoration is planned. One focus will be on gilded paintings, as well. For required conservational measures a large environmental monitoring will be carried out on site and new conservation materials on the basis of organic-inorganic polymers will be developed. Specialists from the Department of Antiquity of Jordan (DoA) and Petra Archaeological Park (PAP) will take part in the project. In addition, they will be offered training courses on the analytical techniques.

1812年重新发现今天的联合国教科文组织世界遗产约旦佩特拉古城后，现场考古研究发挥了非常重要的作用。大量的发现伴随着保护措施的需要。本项目将在考古研究、化学研究和保护研究密切合作的框架下，示范性地开发古代石膏壁画和雕塑的检测、表征和保护方法。计划对纳巴泰壁画遗迹进行广泛的调查和记录，其中包括使用便携式仪器对现场镀金壁画进行详细的考古学研究。随后将进行进一步研究以确定实验室的改变机制。同样，我们还计划对最近发现的大理石雕塑及其彩绘装饰进行更好的记录、化学表征和理解。镀金画作也是一大焦点。对于所需的保护措施，将在现场进行大规模环境监测，并将开发基于有机-无机聚合物的新保护材料。来自约旦古物部（DoA）和佩特拉考古公园（PAP）的专家将参与该项目。此外，他们还将接受分析技术的培训课程。
