Learning Objectives

Goals: main knowledge of (i) ore geology and industrial minerals; (ii) building stones as a natural resource; (iii) characterization of stone deterioration.

Program

(i) Ore geology and industrial minerals. Classification of ore deposits. The nature and morphology of the principal type of ore deposits. Ore-forming processes: orthomagmatic, pegmatitic, hydrothermal. Sedimentary ore deposits. Superficial and residual environments, supergene enrichments. Ore deposits of metamorphic origin. Non-renewable resources: fossil fuels. Principles of mineral prospecting and exploration.
(ii) Building and decorative stones. Commercial classification of stones. Physical and mechanical properties of rocks. Stones of historical interest. Confusion caused by commercial and historical names: the correct classification and provenance of the most used stones.
(iii) Petroarchaeometry and stone provenance. Weathering and deterioration of stones. Mechanical, chemical and biodeterioration processes.
