The current assessment of marble sources in the Mediterranean, drawing from prior publications, reveals notable disparities in the distribution of raw materials across the region. Specifically, data on marble sources in the Balkans, including the Roman province of Thrace, are notably underrepresented, stressing the need for a more comprehensive analysis. Marble provenance studies contribute to a better understanding of the economy and the societal structure of the area and may serve as a model for other larger-scale research of local quarries and ancient sites, as well as the connections and the long-distance trade and sub-regional/regional marble markets. The case study of Philippopolis (mod. Plovdiv, Bulgaria) projects the phenomenon of ‘localism’ by prioritising the local raw material, the local production and consumption of goods. However, on certain occasions, the province kept its connectivity with large marble producers of the Eastern Mediterranean, such as Prokonnesos, Aphrodisias, Penteli, etc., for specific artefacts (e.g., sculptures). Employing a diverse array of methodologies, including stable isotope analysis (C13 and O18), multi-trace element analysis through ICP-MS, and petrography, enables the identification of the provenance of these samples. This study entails a deeper exploration of the relationship between producers and resources, as well as the historical evolution of marble consumption patterns in the area. Within this context, a crucial endeavour involves unravelling the mechanisms that shaped and drove the marble trade network within the confines of this Roman provincial territory.

通过对罗马菲利波波利斯雕塑的考古计量研究,为色雷斯的跨区域大理石贸易网络提供了新的证据



根据以前的出版物,目前对地中海大理石来源的评估揭示了整个地区原材料分布的显着差异。具体来说,巴尔干地区(包括罗马色雷斯省)的大理石来源数据明显代表性不足,因此需要进行更全面的分析。大理石来源研究有助于更好地了解该地区的经济和社会结构,并可能作为对当地采石场和古遗址以及联系和长途贸易和次区域/区域大理石市场的其他更大规模研究的模型。菲利波波利斯的案例研究 (mod.保加利亚普罗夫迪夫)通过优先考虑当地原材料、当地商品的生产和消费来投射“地方主义”现象。然而,在某些情况下,该省与东地中海的大型大理石生产商保持联系,例如 Prokonnesos、Aphrodisias、Penteli 等,用于特定手工艺品(例如雕塑)。采用多种方法,包括稳定同位素分析(C13 和 O18)、通过 ICP-MS 进行多痕量元素分析以及岩相分析,可以确定这些样品的来源。本研究需要更深入地探索生产者与资源之间的关系,以及该地区大理石消费模式的历史演变。在此背景下,一项至关重要的工作涉及解开在这个罗马省份领土范围内塑造和驱动大理石贸易网络的机制。
