Abstract

ABSTRACTS 13C/12C and 18O/16O ratios have been measured for 42 marbles from the main quarry localities of archaeological interest of Western Anatolia (Marmara, Ephesos, Aphrodisias, Denizli and Afyon) in order to test the possibility of isotopically characterizing ancient marbles from this region. The various groups of samples are not clearly distinguishable on a δ13C‐δ18O diagram. However, if only white or slightly coloured samples are considered, the isotopic method appears to be much more selective.
