Скачать или смотреть FROM QUARRIES TO ROCK-CUT SITES. ECHOES OF STONE CRAFTING. THURSDAY 25 AFTERNOON (time zone GMT+1)

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 artistic expressions. 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. The conference aims at promoting the international debate on the archaeological investigation of ROCKCUT SPACES and STONE QUARRIES, considered as aspects of the same mining phenomenon: places in which specific empirical and handcrafted knowledge related to stone working is expressed and conveyed.
