Building Stones History
Stone is the oldest construction material known to mankind. The most ancient remaining drystone structures are scattered throughout the world, with Egyptian pyramids and Peruvian temples as world-class examples. Prehistoric dwellings - brochs, bories, trullis, cabanes, cleits, and giren - extend from the Shetland Islands to the eastern Mediterranean. Drystone terraces and canals built to aid agriculture around the world are equally ancient and widespread.
Agriculture, industry, and roadways developed over 200 years using native stone on a vast scale. On farms, there were drystone dwelling houses, barns, slave quarters, spring houses, smoke houses, and ice houses. Towns contained stone court houses, clerk’s offices, banks, shops, inns, and churches. Structures for transportation and early industry include drystone mills, dams, bridges, stream and pond borders, iron furnaces, lime kilns, and distilleries. Many unnoticed drystone structures still support daily use: retaining walls at stream banks and road cuts, railway piers and embankments, and bridge piers and abutments. Today, the most widely-recognized historic drystone structures are the stone walls and rock fences that border fields, pastures, and roadways in regions of the country where building stone was readily available.
Building stones are the naturally occurring massive, dense rock which can be cut or shaped into blocks or slabs for use in wall, paving, roofing materials or other construction works. They have been used as building material since very early period of our civilization. Be it igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary, a building stone is chosen for its use, durability, attractiveness, economy or other properties as desired. Some of the common building stones are Granite, Travertine, Slate, Gneiss, Marble, Onyx, etc.
