The material properties of stone have ensured its continuing importance; however it is its materiality which has mediated the relations between the individual society and stone 0Bound up with the physical properties of stone are ideas on identity value and understanding Stone can act as a medium through which these concepts are expressed and is tied to ideas such as monumentality and remembrance; its enduring character creating a link through generations to both people and place 0This volume brings together a collection of seventeen papers which draw on a range of diverse disciplines and approaches; including archaeology anthropology classics design and engineering fine arts geography history linguistics philosophy psychology and sciences.
