Sažetak
At the ASMOSIA X Conference held in Rome in 2012, the Association Executive Committee members suggested the forthcoming conference be held in Split, and we enthusiastically accepted the proposal. Nearly one hundred sixty scientists and scholars in the fields of archaeology, art history, architecture, geology, chemistry, physics, restoration and conservation of stone coming from twenty-eight countries took part in the ASMOSIA XI Conference, held from May 18 to 22, 2015. Ninety lectures were presented in 8 thematic sessions at the conference: Use of Marble ; Provenance Identification I (Marble) ; Provenance Identification II (Other stone) ; Advances in Provenance Techniques, Methodologies and Databases ; Quarries and Geology ; Stone Properties, Weathering Effects and Restoration ; Pigments and Painting on Marble. The tradition of exploiting and the techniques of extracting and processing stone, the quality and types of limestone in ancient Dalmatia and Istria, the export of stone products from this area to the Mediterranean Basin, and the various types of marble imported into the area during Roman times, as well as their reutilisation in later historical periods were presented in the Special Theme Session: The Use of Marble and Limestone in the Adriatic Basin in Antiquity. In two sessions dealing with these topics, seventy-three posters were exhibited as well. The ASMOSIA XI Conference was organised by the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Architecture and Geodesy and the Arts Academy of the University of Split. All the sessions were held in two Gothic palaces situated within Diocletian’s Palace (the Split City Museum and the Zlatna Vrata Centre for Culture and Lifelong Learning), which contributed to the special ambience of the conference. On this occasion, the “Marmore laudata Brattia” exhibition by Ivo Donelli was also set up, presenting all the limestone types of the island of Brač, as well as the quarries, traditional tools, and stone extraction techniques. A visit to the archaeological site of the city of Salona and a visit to the Archaeological Museum in Split were organised as part of the conference. Upon the closing of the conference, an excursion to the island of Brač was arranged as well, within which the participants visited the ancient Rasohe quarry, Škrip Museum, the Stonemasonry School, and the contemporary stone quarry in Pučišća. The trip ended with a lunch that enabled the participants to enjoy authentic Dalmatian cuisine within a traditional setting. We hold before us the Proceedings of the ASMOSIA XI Conference held in 2015 in Split, containing 96 articles written on 1, 012 pages and accompanied by 1231 illustrations. The articles are listed in 8 chapters, corresponding to the themes of the conference. We would first like to extend our thanks to all the authors for their scientific contribution to the Proceedings. Furthermore, considering all of the papers were subjected to a scientific review, we also thank all the reviewers who performed this demanding task pro bono. Enormous gratitude goes to Kate Bošković, the conference secretary and the Proceedings technical editor, who took care of the overall correspondence with the authors and all the technical work on preparing the publication. Lastly, we would like to say that we are more than pleased with the excellent response from authors who deal with limestone and imported marble on the eastern Adriatic coast, and to express our hopes that this volume of proceedings will encourage further elaboration of the topic, thus ensuring that the region continues to enjoy its well- deserved recognition and continues to expand the understanding of its place on the map of marble and other stone in Antiquity.
