„Atlas of Czech marbles”: Mineralogical-petrographic and isotopic reference database for provenance studies

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

During the past two decades, an effort to establish a complex database and collection (lithotheque) of Czech natural stones used in construction, architecture and sculpture resulted in extensive sampling and laboratory study of many rock types including marbles (i.e., crystalline limestones). This long-term project includes: (a) literature research (published and unpublished data, data from archives), (b) fieldwork (location and description of historic quarries, stone sampling), (c) laboratory studies (mineralogical-petrographic, geochemical, physical, mechanical, and technical properties testing), (d) lithotheque preparation (thin sections, sawn and polished stone slabs, large blocks), and (e) compilation in printed form of the “Atlas of Dimension Stones“. Czech Republic shows extensive marble deposits that have been quarried for decorative purposes since Neolithic times. Up until now, around fifty marble quarries from six geological units of investigation located in the Bohemian Massif were examined. Because local marbles frequently form relatively small lenses or deformed and folded tabular bodies in complex metamorphic suites of silicate rocks (such as quartzites, amphibolites, etc.), they do not allow full adoption of well-established analytical procedures for provenance studies applicable for white marbles from Mediterranean areas. Applied methodology included traditional provenancing methods, i.e., the detailed mineralogicalpetrographic examination of thin sections and the determination of the C and O stable isotopic ratios of carbonates. Additional methods such as electron microscopy, Raman microspectrometry and magnetic susceptibility measurement were used to determine impure marbles, which included different non-carbonate mineral phases (variously metamorphosed carbonaceous matter, etc.). The gathered data make fundamental quantitative part of a database that will be further employed for provenance studies of specimens obtain from various artefacts.
