heal.abstract	The present work focuses on the investigation of mortar joints of historic masonries consisting traditionally of aerial binder and inerts which contain lumps. The presence of lumps, usually white in colour and of various dimensions, was often recorded inside these mixtures and does not appear to be random, as they are rather frequent, These lumps could confer some physicochemical properties to the mixture, that favour the overall compatibility of the system. For this purpose, various samples taken from historic Venetian masonry were examined by TG-DTG and FTIR analysis. Moreover SEM and fibre optical microscope observations were performed. The results indicate mainly the presence of completely carbonated lime and lead us to assume that the lumps arise from technologies based on the non-seasoning of the lime. © 1995.	en
