Introduction
Hi, I have updated my website with some interesting articles.
I will leave the reference for you to read the entire article. Both articles caught my eye as they are covering a summary if you like of the profession and the concept of mining/quarrying in ancient times. I have also amended the information on individual sites where it is appropriate. I have also created an extra page where I have given an overview of the articles in question that I find give an overview of this industry in classical times.
A short introduction but I thought those two articles are worth mentioning.
de JESUS P. and DARDENIZ G. 2015. Archaeological and geological concepts on the topis of ancient mining, Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration, Bull. Min. Res. Exp. (2015) 151: 231-246 [http:bulleting.mta.gov.tr]
Mahdy H. 2023. Quarrymen in the Roman quarries of the Egyptian eastern desert (types and social life) (Ph.D. in Greco-Roman Archaeology). International Journey of Advanced Studies in World Archaeology, vol6, issue2, 1-8.
