Abstract
Conservation work on the mosaics in the Mosaic Hall in Smyrna Agora Mosaics found in the Mosaic Hall which is a 5 gallery building located to the west of the West Stoa and south of Bouleuterion and adjecent to both are composed of geometric and floral motifs. There are two phases of mosaics on top of each other inside the building. Mosaics in the Hall are partly preserved but in most areas decays and absence of tessellatum, nucleus and rudus can be seen. Documentation, cleaning, strengthening and in some parts completing the mosaic with original tesserae is done in phases in order to restore and conserve the mosaic. Archaeological digs in the area are proceeding at the same time with the restoration work on the mosaic thanks to the roof temporarily placed over the Mosaic Hall
