Presentation of the project “El ciclo productivo del mármol en la península Ibérica desde la Antigüedad: extracción, elaboración, comercialización, usos, reutilización, reelaboración y amortización” integrated in the homonymous Research Network (RED2018-102722-T), financed by the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities and coordinated from the UNED.

Throughout 3 documentaries we intend to make known to the general public the results of the research that a group of about 50 researchers integrated in the aforementioned RED have been developing for years in the study of the production cycle of ornamental stones in the Iberian Peninsula from Roman times to the present day.

Through the documentary we will present all the activities that allow us to reconstruct the production cycle of marble. From the perspective of the archaeology of production and economic history, we will deal with the extraction and preparation of the raw material in the quarry, the preparation and management of these extraction areas, the transport – by land, river and sea – of the stone material, and the workshops specialising in the production of different consumer goods (for architecture, decoration, furniture, etc.). Once this primary cycle of production and consumption of marble products has been completed, we will also address other issues that affect the life cycle of these objects, such as their repair, reworking, reuse and, finally, their amortisation.
