Abstract Archaeological and historical monuments are integral and valuable parts of our cultural heritage and their preservation is of major importance for the maintenance of the historical memory. The exposure of such monuments to environmental and climatic conditions often results in growth of substances of biological nature, among others, on their surfaces, which have a detrimental effect on the integrity of the monument and in some cases, cause irreversible damage to it. Due to the monuments’ unique nature, the valid and timely identification of such deteriogens is necessary. In that way, restorers and other scientists will be able to take the correct steps towards their treatment. The development and application of diagnostic techniques that are characterized by non-destructiveness, the ability of in situ analysis and the lack of sampling is essential. Such technique that meets these requirements is fluorescence spectroscopy, which can identify different types of biodeteriogens. In the present work, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was applied on fluorescence spectra, which were recorded with a portable spectrofluorimeter using a LED as excitation source (LED-IF), with the intention of distinguishing among biodeteriogens that are present on fragments of building materials (stones, ceramics, mortars) of ancient and historical monuments in Greece. PCA constructed a new coordinate system called the Principal Components, and projected the original multivariate spectra onto only two or three dimensions while preserving the maximum possible amount of information. Consequently, we were able to observe groupings among our samples based on the presence of chlorophyll (which is present in algae, moss or cyanobacteria) and allophycocyanin (present only in cyanobacteria) in two out of four models, while the other two didn’t show satisfactory classification.
