| Summary: | The aim of this paper is to show unpublished data of quarrying activity linked to the development of the sanctuary of Dodona, in Epirus. The study analyzes new information about quarry-marks found in the area of this sacred center, obtained by means of the prospection of the territory. Once identified the area where evidence of quarrying works is located, the paper deals with the main features of this sort of activity and material remains of other cases in the Greek world. Finally, the data is put into context with the development of the sanctuary of Dodona and the historical processes of the region. |
