Abstract:

We present a synthesis of the knowledge and latest findings in marbles and other stone materials in Antiquity, focused in the roman territory of Hispania in 2007-2009. These findings were produced by field archaeology as well as scientific publications and specialized congresses. We analyze the results of all this research that allow us to determinate better the origin of some materials and the exploitation areas, as well as the local uses and spread of hispanic marmora. This subject has experienced a drama-tic growth in our country with a continuous application of interdisciplinarity.
