Extract

The bibliography that follows is the work of the Committee for the Study of Marble and Similar Stones in Antiquity.

This committee was established in 1965 to serve as a centre for reference and for the exchange of information between all those persons and institutions who are concerned with the identification and study of the fine building stones and other decorative stones used in classical antiquity. It is sponsored by the International Association for Classical Archaeology, which in 1970/71 and again in 1971/72 has made a generous contribution towards its expenses. The committee's reference collection of quarry samples (see PBSR, xxxiv (1966), 79) is installed at the British School and growing satisfactorily, and several other projects are nearing completion. These include a survey of the Christian sarcophagi in the recently installed Museo Pio Cristiano, the former Lateran collections, now published in Repertorium der Christlich-Antiken Sarkophage ed. F. W. Deichmann, vol. i (1967), and another of the classical statuary currently on display in the Museum at Ostia.
