The examination is carried out on one level: a general examination in situ with the naked eye and with simple instruments, as an USB microscope and magnifying lenses in order to determine both the techniques and materials used, and the alterations. The examination of a work of art as the initial step in its conservation or restoration cannot be limited to a technical investigation, but must also include a critical archaeological study. Indeed, three types of examination are essential: archaeological, technological and etiological (the study of the causes of alteration)[7]. Study and documentation of the state of conservation of objects are very important before, during, and after conservation processes as a record. The purpose of documentation is to define the exact characteristics of the object, not only as they appear now, but also as they were originally, and what they have become in the course of history, and to provide a detailed report of the results of the examination, to reveal the technical structure of the work and to identify the alterations which this structure has undergone [4]. The documentations for the condition and treatment of stone objects were done in two methods: − Photography as a record by images in digital, they have taken before the conservation works, during and after treatment. − Graphic documentation or Survey schemes by signs of different patterns on every deterioration phenomenon on drawings prepared by the conservators using computer.
