	The artwork in Venetian churches is not limited to sculptures and paintings displayed on the walls. Many artifacts are found below eye level, in the floors. Venetians used every surface available to decorate all aspects of their lives, including the ground they walked on. In the floors of Venetian churches, two types of artifacts can be found: the more common artifacts is a tombstone, marking a Venetian’s final resting place.

	The map below shows the churches of Venice, excluding the Lagoon islands, represented as vertical bars, where the height of each church building corresponds to the number of floor artifacts found in ~~its floor~~. For example, the tallest bar on the graph corresponds to the [[Church of San Zanipolo]] (Santi Giovanni e Paolo) in Castello which has 207 church floor artifacts. ~~This church has, by far~~, the ~~highest~~ number of artifacts~~. The average church with artifacts only has~~ 30 ~~artifacts~~.

	In addition to the number of artifacts per church in the high damage category, the percent of artifacts in the high damage category was studied. The results of this are seen in the graph below. This analysis removed some of the bias of the previous figure based on simply the quantity or artifacts in a church, resulting in only the churches with the highest number of total artifacts showing the highest ~~humber~~ of highly damaged artifacts. APOS, [[Church of Santi Apostoli]], CAPP, [[Church of Le Cappuccine]], GREC, [[Church of Greci]], LUCA, [[Church of San Luca]], POLO, [[Church of San Polo]], and REDE, [[Church of Redentore]] all have a high percentage of the artifacts in their floors in the high damage category. A high percentage of highly damaged artifacts causes these church floors to be considered a high priority for preservation. Bias does exist in this graph as well, since churches such as [[Church of San Luca]] and [[Church of Redentore]] both have 100% high damage artifacts but only have one artifact.<ref>Dechaine, Danielle, Hennessey, Meghan, Orszulak, Jeffrey, Rullmann, Kevin.

	Many churches have been rebuilt or undergone extensive renovations since they were first constructed. A common aspect of renovation was to raise the floor of the church, by either removing the old floor, or building on top of it. It stands to reason that these new floors would contain fewer artifacts, as they have not been in the church for as many years, and therefore would not contain as many artifacts. A weak correlation exists between the elevation of Venetian church floors the ~~number~~ of artifacts ~~contained~~ in ~~them,~~ as ~~evident~~ in the graph below. The red bars correspond to the average artifact damage score of each church, while the blue line represents the floor height of that particular church. ~~You can see as~~ the blue line increases across the graph, the damage to the artifacts per church ~~appears to decrease~~ slightly. Further analysis of when these floors were renovated might provide more insight as to a stronger correlation. <ref>Dechaine, Danielle, Hennessey, Meghan, Orszulak, Jeffrey, Rullmann, Kevin.

	The graph below shows the number of artifacts per church in each of the three middle categories. The red bars correspond to the high damage category, orange to intermediate damage and yellow to low damage. The taller bars represent churches with a large quantity of damaged artifacts. It is very clear that GIOV, [[Church of San Zanipolo]], has the highest number of artifacts in ~~all three~~ damage ~~categories~~. Therefore, the floor of this church is a strong candidate for restoration. Additionally, the churches APOS, [[Church of Santi Apostoli]], SALV, [[Church of San Salvador]], SCAL, [[Church of Gli Scalzi]], TOLE, [[Church of Tolentini]], FAVA, [[Church of La Fava]], and MARC, [[Church of San Marcuola]], all have red and yellow columns that are significantly higher than the other churches. These higher bars represent the church floors with many highly damaged artifacts and would benefit from preservation efforts.<ref>Dechaine, Danielle, Hennessey, Meghan, Orszulak, Jeffrey, Rullmann, Kevin.

	The artwork in Venetian churches is not limited to sculptures and paintings displayed at eye level on the walls, but many artifacts are found below eye level, in the floors of churches. Venetians used every surface available to decorate all aspects of their lives, including the ground they walked on. In the floors of Venetian churches, several types of artifacts can be found; one of the more common artifacts is a tombstone, marking a Venetian’s final resting place. These markers are left from when burials were still allowed inside city centers and usually contain the individual’s full name, date of birth and date of death. Other information, such as the person’s occupation, can be found on some of the more elaborate pieces. Additionally, plaques are ~~inlayed~~ in church floors which contain information about important events, such as the beginning of construction or prominent contributors. Many of the artifacts ~~in the church floors~~ are carved into tiles, usually marble or limestone, to ~~match~~ the surrounding floor pattern. Different color marbles, such as red, white or black, were used to set the markers apart from the rest of the floor while still keeping a uniform appearance throughout the church.<ref>Dechaine, Danielle, Hennessey, Meghan, Orszulak, Jeffrey, Rullmann, Kevin.

	There are two types of artifacts found in the floors of Venetian churches: tombs and plaques. The difference between tombs and plaques is described on the [[Church Floor Artifact]] page. Below are examples of both types of artifacts.<ref>Dechaine, Danielle, Hennessey, Meghan, Orszulak, Jeffrey, Rullmann, Kevin. ''Treasures Underfoot: Preserving Venice's Church Floor Artifacts.''

	~~==Artifact Preservation==~~

	La Soprintendenza is a branch of the Ministry of Heritage and Cultural Activities, an Italian government organization that oversees all restoration efforts involving culturally significant artifacts across Italy. They have isolated four categories of culturally significant artifacts including archives, monuments, works of art and archeology. If a building, monument, or piece of art is in one of these categories, the Soprintendenza dictates all restoration projects that the item may undergo, regardless of if the item is publicly or privately owned. Church floor artifacts are categorized as monuments, and therefore receive preservation funds from the Soprintendenza. Typically, several small projects are carried out each year, such as cleaning a façade or replacing a roof a church, in Venice alone, even though the Soprintendenza is responsible for all of Italy. The majority of their funding comes from tax donations call the ''octo mille''. This donation takes an additional 0.008% of your taxes and applies the money towards restoration projects for various churches across Italy. <ref>Soprintendenza B.A.P. di Venezia e Laguna. 2012. 7 Oct 2012 <http://www.soprintendenza.venezia.beniculturali.it/></ref>

	[[File:UNESCO_logo.jpg\|600px\|thumb\|left\|UNESCO Logo]] The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization, [[UNESCO]], is a second platform for providing funding to restore churches. Around the globe, there are nearly twenty private organizations dedicated to funding preservation projects for Venice. Annually, [[UNESCO]] sends these organizations the Soprintendenza’s request list to determine which projects they will be funding for the following year. After their decision has been made, they make a donation to [[UNESCO]] in order for their desired project to be carried out. [[UNESCO]] serves as the middle man, handling the paperwork and observing the logistics of the restoration processes onsite. Worcester Polytechnic Institute project teams have worked tangent to UNESCO to catalog the progress of these restoration projects, and make a record of all the artifacts that lie within the islands of Venice.<ref>UNESCO-ROSTE.
