Research Abstract

We started this project to make the basic data-base on the more than 2000 fragments of painted plaster from "Kom al-Samak" at Malqata South. The mud-brick built architecture on the hill, named "Kom al-Samak" was constructed under the reign of Amenophis III.Different varietues of motiefs of painted plaster refers some difficulties against the restoration of the original paintings. We have also made comparative studies with the New Kingdom paintings ; for example from the Theban rock-cut tombs, temples and palaces (Palaces of Malqata and el-Amarna).
About the chemical treatments for the preservation and restoration of fragments of painted plaster from "Kom al-Samak", we have made re-examination and basic studies to find the better methods. So we conclused changing method for preserving pigments of the surface from Paraloid B72 5 to 7% solution of toluene to Paraloid B72 10% solution of xylene.
We could some motifs of the architecture of Kom el-Samak finally. And we decided to continue our works for the restoration of the original wall paintings. Especially, we could use a very important data from the royal tomb of Amenophis III (KV 22) in the Western Valley of the Kings for this project.
