Figure 18. Paquim: Historic walls covered in multiple layers of new old adobe mud. The photo depicts deterioration of the protective earthen plaster. While the plaster should not be allowed to accumulate at the wall bases, the coating does not need to be reapplied immediately upon deterioration, as many layers must deteriorate before the historic material is reached.
