摘要
The paper presents the engineering geological behaviour of a calcarenite on the stability of Mycenaean tombs in the archaeological site of Mazarakata in Cephallonia Island. The geological setting of the site is characterized by the presence of faults, which delineate the fracture pattern. This along with the range of hardness of the sedimentary rock controls primarily the stability of the tombs. The geological conditions are described and the engineering geological behaviour of the calcarenite is investigated. It was assessed that the progressive weathering and deterioration of the calcarenite would lead to further instability and potential collapse of the tombs.
