This advanced workshop will be a continuation of the basic gravestone preservation workshop.It will cover more complex gravestone and monument conservation treatments and procedures.The following techniques will be performed during the workshop as a group interactive experience:A basic overhead stone lifting tripod will be constructed and employed to raise large fallen and or badly leaning monumental elements which are too heavy to lift by hand.The rigging of stone in order to be lifted will be demonstrated.The joining and setting of monuments will be
performed.

Composite stone in-fill materials will be discussed in depth,  and applied to various kinds of substrate. Pigments will be added to modify and create a color matching in-fill mortar.Injection grout will be used to in-fill small cracks and voids, and help prevent freeze- thaw damage.A replacement base will be cast out of concrete, in order to repair a gravestone fractured at or below the ground surface. After the concrete has cured, the tablet stone will be re-set into a socket base employing a historic pointing mortar.Cleaning techniques will be covered in greater detail including the application of stone poultice to remove in ground staining.The consolidation of a marble gravestone will be performed to strengthen the stone, and help prevent future
degradation.Additional preservation treatments will be discussed and performed based on the time allowance.
