00925njm 22002777a 4500 dc Gutiérrez Garcia-Moreno, Anna author 2011-07-14 As in many other areas of the Roman Empire, the exploitation of stone resources for the construction of buildings, public areas, infrastructure, sculptures, inscriptions and other objects, such as sarcophagi, was a key activity in Roman Spain from the beginning of the Roman conquest. However, the study of supply areas (the quarries) has been limited to date. Taking north-eastern Spain as a case study, this article addresses the importance of identifying ancient quarries by field work at the sites and archaeometric characterization of the materials. Along with consideration of the distribution of the stone from specific quarries throughout and beyond the region, this provides a solid basis to appreciate the significance of stone exploitation as part of the process of Romanization. 1470-1375 http://hdl.handle.net/2072/375853 https://doi.org/10.1080/00438243.2011.586201 The exploitation of local stone in Roman times: the case of north-eastern Spain
