“…Many studies of the provenance of ancient marbles have been performed thanks to several procedures, including trace elements [6], cathodoluminescence [7,8], electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy [9,10], strontium isotopic distribution [11] and chemical analysis of inclusion fluids [12]. However, mineralogical and petrographic investigations, as well as carbon and oxygen stable isotope analyses, are more often used for these purposes .…”

Provenance and compositional analysis of marbles from the medieval Abbey of San Caprasio, Aulla (Tuscany, Italy)

A compositional study of twenty-two marble artefacts from the medieval Benedictine Abbey of San Caprasio at Aulla (North-western Tuscany, Central Italy) has been carried out. The mineralogical and petrographic analyses, the estimation of the maximum grain size of the calcite crystals, and the determination of carbon and oxygen stable isotopes support a provenance of most marbles from the Apuan Alps quarries (Italy). Only some marbles indicate a probable provenance from the islands of Paros and Thasos in the eastern Mediterranean area

“…Varying low amounts of plagioclase and organic matter can be found (Lapuente et al, 2002). Macroscopically, the fabric is homogeneous with a compact heteroblastic microstructure and a bimodal grain size distribution (fine-grained and coarse-grained) (0.1-3.5 mm).…”

Potential thermal expansion of calcitic and dolomitic marbles from Andalusia (Spain)

et al. 2011

Marble has historically been used as an ornamental stone because of its aesthetic appeal, ease of polishing and ex;cellent physical properties. One of the main factors affecting the durability of marbles is their thermal behaviour. Although marble is used extensively in Spain as a building and decorative material, little research has been done into its thermal behaviour. In this work, the textural and microstructural properties of seven calcitic and dolomitic marbles from Andalusia (southern Spain) were characterized to assess how these properties affect their thermal response. Rock fabric properties (grain morphology, boundaries and micro-crack populations) were studied by polarized microscopy and lattice preferred orientation using X-ray texture goniometry. Elastic properties were measured by ultrasound, thermal properties were determined by a six-rod dilatometer (thermal expansion) and the opening of micro-cracks was observed using environmental scanning electron microscopy. For each marble, thermal coefficients of calcite and dolomite crystals were calculated using thermo-X-ray diffraction, a novel application to characterize historic marbles. The results show that marble thermal expansion coefficients are related to preferred crystallographic orientation, which can help to identify the directions along which decay occurs. The results also show for the first time that the thermal expansion coefficient of the main components of marble, i.e. calcite and dolomite, is specific to each marble, and plays a key role in their different thermal behaviours. Thermal properties also depend on mineral composition, the existence of micro-cracks and hydric properties.

“…Así, a pesar de que la litoteca de referencia sobre los mármoles de canteras hispanas se ha visto ampliada sustancialmente en los últimos años (Lapuente et al 2000;Lapuente et al 2014), el vacío existente respecto a los materiales del noroeste hizo imprescindible llevar a cabo la localización y estudio de afloramientos marmóreos en el territorio gallego susceptibles de haber sido explotados en la antigüedad.…”

“…A pesar de que no se ha obtenido una correspondencia perfecta con el mármol de O Incio, el origen del mármol empleado para esta placa está muy posiblemente relacionado con los afloramientos de mármol explotados en las canteras de O Incio o en sus inmediaciones, asociados a la Formación Calizas de Cándana (Zona Asturoccidental-Leonesa), siendo menos probable su relación con las canteras presentes en la prolongación de dicha formación por la actual provincia leonesa (Cisneros et al 2010(Cisneros et al -2011, dónde los litotipos existentes 28. Aunque el campo de distribución publicado hasta la fecha corresponde a las variedades blancas (LAPuENTE et al 2000(LAPuENTE et al , 2014, según los resultados presentados recientemente en el XI Congreso ASMOSIA (Split), los litotipos grises y bandeadas presentan valores que no varían significativamente. Queremos agradecer a P. Lapuente sus consideraciones al respecto, a la espera de la publicación de este trabajo (LAPuENTE et al en prensa presentan ya de entrada unas características macroscópicas bastante alejadas de las de nuestra placa.…”

De esta manera, a la contextualización cronológica de las diferentes fases de la pieza a partir de su estudio formal, hemos unido la identificación del mármol utilizado, cuyo resultado confirma un origen local (área de O Incio). Este nuevo dato aporta información esencial, dada la excepcionalidad de la pieza, para conocer aspectos vinculados a la calidad técnica de los talleres locales, y consecuentemente sobre las implicaciones económicas, sociales y políticas de este tipo de producciones dentro del noroeste de la Península Ibérica. Palabras claveGallaecia; objetos romanos reutilizados; mármol; arqueometría; talleres locales. AbstractIn this paper we present a new study on the Amiadoso plaque (Allariz, Ourense), in which this Roman object has been analysed from an interdisciplinary point of view based in the combination of stylistic and archaeometric studies.
