    A Monument as a Document in its own History. The relationship between restoration and the history of a monument became clear as restoration work on the aqueduct of the city of Morelia in México progressed. Important questions were raised with regards to the history if the monument, previously considered have been built in the late 18th century. The careful observation of stonecutter's signatures, the dimensions of the arches and the techniques used in stonecutting resulted in new vision of the aqueduct as a monument transformed over a period of 400 years, emphasising the importance of using different techniques to "read" the monument as a document.
