To this deterioration contributed the location in a soft calcarenite rock quarry, the adverse environmental conditions and the numerous and extensive wrong archaeological and managing interventions along more than a century. The cultural, artistic and religious importance of this Necropolis converts the protection and conservation of this archaeological site in a major issue. This work present the data obtained in a multidisciplinary research were geology, geomorphology, micro-environmental and climatic monitoring, rock petrophysical characterization, description of weathering forms and biological colonization were considered in order to propose corrective measures to minimize deterioration.engjournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.culher.2018.02.019https://www.sciencedirect.com/open access552.08:904(468.11)Roman NecropolisWeatheringDeteriorationBiological colonizationCalcareniteMortarsStuccosPetrologíaArqueología5505.01 Arqueología
