Tel Habwa is located at a distance of 3 km east of the Suez Canal to the northeast of the city of Qantara east, and contains the site of engraved archaeological inscriptions of several stones, perhaps the most greatly affected were Limestone plates because these plates were affected by the surrounding environment, especially some of these plates were buried in salt soil moist until recently, which led to the fall of large parts of them, which prompted the researcher to study these plates, and to determine the status of these plates and what it saw Damage has been checked and analyzed component It was found that the archaeological area suffers from the impact of heat, wind, rain and magnifying lenses. In the X-ray dispersing unit (EDX, XRD diffraction), the plates were made up of calcite CaCO3, Ankerite Ca (Fe2,Mg,Mn2)(CO3)2, hematite Fe2O3 and a percentage of quartz SiO2, and they contained salts such as halite NaCl, Caminite Mg7(SO4)5(OH)4.H2O and Blodite Na2Mg(SO4)2 (H2O)4 |
