Detection of proteins as organic additive in flooring mortars used in excavated remains from Anba Shenoute Monastery, Sohag, Egypt

<strong>Detecting organic additives in ancient mortars is significant to be carried out as far as mineralogical, chemical, and physical investigations. That characterisation allows understanding the technology of those mortars and is important to make appropriate decisions in conservation work...
