Even though the information about provenance or source location of raw stonematerial found on archaeological sites can tell us a lot about societies and economies of the period in question, this type of research is not often in the focus of archaeology. Istriais a geographically relatively enclosed region with geological surface deposits that allow for different raw stone material exploitation. The oldest surface deposits in Istria are from Jurassic period, followed by Cretaceous deposits and so on. This paper is going to present relevant surface deposits of Istria, as well as mention the current state of research of ancient quarries.
