The use of historical cartographic and iconographic sources in search of abandoned or forgotten stone quarries for construction purposes
Original language description
When repairing historic buildings with dressed stone masonry or stone cladding there is often the need for a thorough petrographic and mineralogical analysis of the rock material used, sometimes even including the locating of the quarries from where therock was originally obtained in the past. However the vast majority of quarries used in the past as a source of building material were abandoned over time. Often they were only small stone pits located in the near surroundings of the construction site. If the stone was not taken from one of the major quarries, whose history is well known and has been described in related literature, there are two options remaining: direct terrain surveys of nearby areas and at times areas further afield or research of possible written and pictorial archival sources. This paper focuses on where to obtain these documents, how they usually look, how to proceed in searching for them and finally how to interpret them. Also some examples of how stone quarries
