The purpose of this monograph is to take a new look at various aspects of stone artefact analysis that reveal important and exciting new information about the past. This invovles reorienting our methodological approach to stone artefacts as well as the questions asked of them. The papers making up this volume tackle a number of issues that have long been at the heart of archaeology’s problematic relationship with stone artefacts, including our understanding of the dynamic nature of past stoneworking practices, the utility of traditional classificatory schemes, and ways to unlock the vast amount of information about the strategic role of lithic technology that resides in stone artefact assemblages.
This book includes 88 contributions (oral and posters) that were presented during the IX International Conference of the Association for the Study of Marbles and Other Stones in Antiquity (ASMOSIA), held in Tarragona between 8 and June 13 2009. These papers reflect the outcome of this meeting, which aimed to provide the scientific community interested in ancient stone a forum to discuss and exchange new data and results about all related aspects (geological and analytical archaeological, artistic and historical). Following the premises of ASMOSIA, special attention is paid to a multidisciplinary approach and collaboration between researchers and practitioners from different disciplines as an essential tool to advance the identification, use, sale and use of materials tablet in ancient times. The volume is divided into 8 chapters which are derived from sessions which organized the conference: 1. Applications to specific archaeological questions. Use of Marble 2. Provenances identification and I. Marbles 3. Provenances identification and II. Other stones 4. Transport and trade of stone 5. Quarries 6. Quarrying techniques, organization and stone manufacturing 7. Pigments of paintings and marble 8. Symbolism of stones. Local and imported materials

The archaeological study of quarries focuses mainly on the reconstruction of the extraction process, while rock-hewn spaces have often been approached from the point of view of architectural styles or art-history. Nevertheless, a holistic structural approach to the study of these spaces could allow a better understanding of the agency of those who carved the stone. Stone quarries and rock-cut sites have rarely been included in global studies of historical landscapes and few are the forums dedicated to the theoretical and methodological debate over the importance that these sites have for the understanding of past societies. To fill the gap, the proceedings volume aims at providing new data on sites located in Africa (Ethiopia, and Egypt), Europe (France, Croatia, Italy, Spain) and Asia (Turkey, Saudi Arabia) studied with a diachronic approach, as well as new theoretical reflections for the international debate on the archaeological investigation of rock-cut spaces and stone quarries. Two directions structure this volume: the analysis of the individual rock walls, considering the study of tool traces as a proxy for understanding the carving phases, as well as the analysis of the structure (site/quarry) as a whole, by contextualizing the results of the study of the single walls. The volume mainly targets researchers who are willing to discover quarries and rock-cut sites as aspects of the same mining phenomenon: places in which specific empirical and handcrafting knowledge related to stone working is expressed and conveyed, but also a wider audience that is interested in these peculiar and impressive sites.

Theorising Ancient Quarries: How far have we come?2023 •
Theoretical discourses are well-established in academic archaeology, yet less so within the study of marble and other stones in antiquity. For those who do venture into a more theoretically- integrated form of study, there is a danger of viewing ourselves as the sole creators and practitioners of theory. By what right do we proclaim ourselves so? Might it be argued that the chief pitfall, and cause of stagnation, of all theoretical discourse is its perceived elitism? Can, then, a case be made that theoretical approaches to this field have failed to create a vertical integration with those who practice primarily in the field? An echo, perhaps of CW Mills’ distinction between grand theory and abstract empiricism, where the first ignores real-world problems in favour of abstract theoretical models, and the second focuses exclusively on method and data? This paper will explore these questions as they apply to the study of marble and other stones in antiquity. We will consider the state of this field, exploring where academic interest is being targeted and how far theory has penetrated. We shall also address the concerns of Mills as to whether research is truly integrated with higher-order questioning, or is, as he feared, dominated by approaches that lead to the limited study of small-scale questions. Subsequently, we will explore how we might begin to make a transition to a more integrated field of research and whether this approach can be extrapolated to other fields of archaeological enquiry.
