Abstract
The plaster from the Umayyad aqueduct to Ramla was analyzed petrographically to identify its composition and the phases of application. It was established that the aqueduct was coated with several layers of plaster at different stages. The plaster layers differ in quality, the first episode represented by a high-quality pink plaster and the last, by a whitish plaster of inferior quality.
