Full textAbstract:
In 426/425 BC the Athenians purified the island of Delos: they removed all the graves, and for the future forbade either dying or giving birth there; those involved were to be removed to Rheneia. They also instituted the penteteric Delia after the purification. Whatever the Athenians' initial motivation, the interdiction on burial seems to have been taken seriously, for there were few if any licit burials on the island for the rest of antiquity. It must have been very difficult for the people of Delos to conform to this law, as it affected both the burial of the dead, and the performance of the regular, customary, rites of tendance of family tombs. This paper suggests how they may have found a way to adapt normal Greek practice to fit the circumstances peculiar to Delos.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with the features and changes in the development of Delian polis during the free port period. The economic development was analized, it has experienced the highest prosperity due to duty-free trade and the slave market on the island. The political evolution of Delos from the classical polis to the Hellenistic city is characterized. The peculiarities of religious life on the island, which combined both Greek and Eastern cults, were identified.

Full textAbstract:
This paper explores literary representations of the cult of Apollo on Delos. This island is, to be sure, mentioned only occasionally in early Greek poetry, but details specific to the cult do appear. Thus, for example, Odysseus describes a palm tree he saw at an altar of Apollo on Delos (Od. 6.162-3), and a third-century inscription from the island mentions just such a feature. References to a palm, altar, and temple at Delos in later classical authors, including Callimachus, Pliny, Cicero, and Plutarch, demonstrate that the Archaic period traditions represented by the Homeric passages continued to shape how successive generations of visitors understood Delos. The material record makes clear that the Greek epic tradition documents a time when Delos was already a well attended sanctuary, and that later constructions at the site attempted to remain consistent with the details preserved in the epics.

Full textAbstract:
Much progress has been made in the study of the emporion of the port-city of Delos (Map 9) in recent years, with new excavations and preparations towards their publication, reassessments of previously excavated material as well as analyses of the history, religion, art and architecture of Delos in the Late Hellenistic and Roman periods. Home of the Sanctuary of Apollo since the Archaic period, Delos commanded a huge cult network that intertwined religious with economic and political activities due to its advantageous geographical position at the centre of the Aegean world. The latest research has focused on these religious, political and economic networks (for example Constantakopoulou 2007; Chankowski 2008; Collar 2013; Migeotte 2014; Raptopoulos 2014; Le Quéré 2015), while the important contribution of Véronique Chankowski on the economy of the island in the Hellenistic period awaits publication (see Chankowski 2011). Delos prospered in the Late Hellenistic period, when the Roman authorities granted the port of Delos duty-free status, and when the island reverted to Athenian control in 167 BC, turning it into a commercial base that connected the eastern and western Mediterranean. This report concentrates on recent developments in research on Hellenistic and Roman Delos.

Full textAbstract:
Traces of extraction in Delian marble quarries attest their exploitation during Antiquity. A preliminary non-destructive provenance study confirmed the presence of indigenous marble in Delos constructions. In contrast, Delos marble quarries have not been geochemically described so far. Therefore, a detailed (1/5000 scale) geological mapping and cross-sections were performed in the four Delian marble quarries in order to better determine their dimension and to estimate the volume of extracted marble. The surface of the quarries was revised into up to six times larger areas, increasing the extracted volume estimations. Quarries were sampled and studied with mineralo-petrographic (optical and electronic microscopy, X-Ray Diffraction) and isotopic (δ13C and δ18O) characterization. Three categories were observed, i.e., a coarse whitish to bluish marble, a fine yellowish dolomitic marble and marble with giant white and blue calcite crystals. The Maximum Grain Size associated with oxygen and carbon isotopic ratios showed a good potential to distinguish Delian marbles from most of the main Mediterranean marbles used during Antiquity. However, geochemical elemental analyses such as trace elements analysis could supplement Delian marble characterization which will benefit future provenance studies.

Full textAbstract:
This article argues for a new way of reading Hellenistic “literary” hymns, one that situates them in contemporary religious and cultural discourse through the notions of “textualization” and the “cultural archive.” I apply this framework to Callimachus’ Hymn to Delos and show how this hymn became an important part of the articulation of Ptolemaic religion in the context of ritual politics in the third-century Aegean, as well as how it had a lasting impact on the way that the ritual geography of the Cyclades was imagined. Specifically, the analysis spotlights how the hymn successfully links historical and contemporary theoric choral activity with the etymologization of the Cyclades; how it textualizes the island of Kos within the ritual nexus of Delos; and, finally, how it becomes an important part of Greek cultural memory about Delos.

Full textAbstract:
Earlier work has tended to view Delos as an entrepôt for the larger Hellenistic grain trade, but during the years of independence (314-167 B.C.) the island relied on the import of grain to satisfy local demand, and this was certainly the more important aspect of the trade in grain, at least from the Delians' point of view. This study explores several issues connected with the local supply of grain. From prices for grain reported in inscriptions and estimates of the local population, the aggregate annual demand for grain is estimated, and the price structure of grain derived; the ratio of wheat and barley prices on Delos is found to differ considerably from that known from Athens and Roman Egypt. The shortage of 282 B.C., assumed by earlier scholars from prices recorded for that year, is shown instead to be a period of atypically low prices. The impact of the sailing season on shipments of grain is explored, and an annual rhythm in grain prices and availability linked to the closure of the sea and the agricultural year is revealed. The Delians tried to reduce the impact of these fluctuations by the public purchase of grain on an irregular basis in the late fourth and third century, as attested through public loans; by the last quarter of the third century they had established a regular sitōnia fund to buy grain for resale at reduced prices. Comparison of funds available, grain prices, and the estimated aggregate demand suggest that the Delian sitōnia was able to cover a significant fraction of local demand; this contrasts with evidence from other cities. Some of the implications of these results for our understanding of the Hellenistic economy are briefly explored.

Full textAbstract:
Pindar must have narrated the myth of the birth of Apollo in many poems. We know of at least three, perhaps four versions: his only extant account of the birth itself is in Pa. XII; the latter of the two surviving sections of Pa. VIIb describes the flight of Asteria from Zeus, her transformation into an island and (probably) Zeus' desire to have Apollo and Artemis born there; the birth also seems to have been mentioned in the Hymn to Zeus immediately after the address to Delos and the account of Delos being rooted to the sea-bed in fr. 33c–d; finally a source reports that according to Pindar Apollo passed from Delos to Delphi via Tanagra and this would probably have followed an account of the birth, though it could refer to a lost part of Pa. XII or the Hymn to Zeus. These accounts have never been the subject of systematic investigation, which is regrettable, because they make up an important aspect of Pindar's attitude to religion. In this preliminary study I focus on two interrelated aspects: the stance Pindar takes towards the Homeric Hymn to Apollo and the role he attributes to Zeus.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIn this contribution, 13 previously unpublished grave and votive monuments are analysed, plus two boundary markers. These monuments, housed in the museums of Mersin and Alanya in Cilicia in southern Asia Minor, are both artistic and epigraphic documents. Most of them were made in this region, but three were imported from Antioch-on-the-Orontes, Pisidia and the island of Delos, as can be deduced from their iconography. These new examples from Cilicia and eastern Pamphylia offer insights into the different concepts of μνῆμα or μνημεῖον (memorial) popular in Hellenistic and Roman times throughout Asia Minor.

Full textAbstract:
Yitzhak Magen and his team have secured 395 inscriptions and fragments of inscriptions in Hebrew and Aramaic on the summit of Mount Gerizim. The number of inscriptions in one place is noteworthy, and calls for attention. Another find was made on the island of Delos in the Aegean Sea. Two inscriptions which praise benefactors for their support for the “Israelites who send their temple tax to Argarizein” were uncovered. The author suggests a new understanding of these inscriptions, and by reading them together it is possible to have a unique glimpse of how early Samaritan self-consciousness took shape by distancing itself from the Jewish position. Many of the phrases in the Gerizim corpus find parallels in comparable material from Egypt, the Sinai peninsula, Mesopotamia and Turkey. The phrase “in this place,” however, has no parallels in other inscriptions, and together with the references to the home village of the dedicators this gives an impression of a community dedicated to their own place of worship, Mount Gerizim, and living in its vicinity. The community behind the Delos inscriptions term themselves “Israelites,” and directs their religious focus towards Mount Gerizim. This is the earliest attestation of this name for the Samaritans.

La tesi que es presenta pretén oferir un anàlisi entorn del procés de construcció identitària dels adolescents nouvinguts a la ciutat de Palma. Es proposa una primera fase de revisió/reflexió del marc teòric ja existent, en concret, es pretén treballar en tres fenòmens que esdevenen centrals en la recerca: la identitat, l’adolescència i la immigració. És a partir d’aquí des d’on emergeixen uns objectius generals: (1) establir una proposta de components identitaris pels adolescents d’origen marroquí i xinès a la ciutat de Palma i (2) concretar uns models teòrics de perfils identitaris per aquests mateixos grups de joves d’origen nouvingut. Per tal d’assumir aquests dos reptes, s’ha engegat una metodologia de caràcter qualitatiu, la qual ha pretès un enfocament holístic de la qüestió tot fent ús de tres instruments de recollida de dades: l’entrevista semiestructurada, l’observació i els grups de discussió (més adreçats als processos de validació de resultats). Una vegada obtingudes les dades procedents del treball de camp, han estat analitzades amb el fi de poder arribar als objectius finals de la recerca. S’han diferenciat distints nivells d’anàlisi: en el primer, s’ha realitzat una interpretació de les dades partint de les categories emprades en el treball de camp, en el segon ‘ja amb un major nivell d’abstracció- fent servir els components identitaris (agrupacions de variables) i, finalment, ha estat possible arribar a concretar els models de perfils identitaris per a joves d’origen marroquí i xinès a la ciutat de Palma. Atenent els resultats, s’han observat tres grans models identitaris en els adolescents d’origen immigrant a la ciutat de Palma: (1) joves amb identitats lligades al seu país d’origen, (2) persones que demostren un cert mestissatge identitari i (3) adolescents que tenen identitats més aviat vinculades a la societat en la qual resideixen. Tot i el reconeixement d’aquests tres grans models en ambdós col’lectius, s’observen diferències substancials més si partim del mapa de components identitaris en el qual s’identifica que els elements condicionants dels dos grups són distints. Amb tot plegat, s’han concretat alguns perfils identitaris coincidents i d’altres que demostren tendències diferents, tot depenent de l’origen de l’adolescent.

Full textAbstract:
El coneixement que s’ha anat generat en els darrers anys sobre les diferents cultures que dominaren la prehistòria de Mallorca, així com la de Menorca i durant un determinat període també la d’Eivissa i Formentera, ha donat com a resultat un trencament evident amb la visió tradicional d’una societat estancada. L’enfocament multidisciplinari de la investigació arqueològica ha permès una periodització més acurada de l’evolució cultural d’aquelles societats i, sobre tot, una explicació més raonada i sustentada en l’evidència arqueològica / científica sobre l’organització social, les formes de subsistència o la gestió del territori. Aquest treball de recerca és una aproximació a la prehistòria i protohistòria de Mallorca a través de l’estudi de les restes de mol·luscs marins provinents de jaciments arqueològics (Arqueomalacologia). Tot i que el present treball se centra especialment durant el darrer període cultural (s. VI / s. II AC) que dominà Mallorca (i Menorca), també es mostren evidències de la utilització dels mol·luscs marins des de la consolidació de la presència humana, a mitjans del segon mil·lenni, fins pràcticament el canvi d’era. Això s’ha aconseguit gràcies a la feina feta sobre una sèrie de jaciments arqueològics localitzats a la badia d’Alcúdia, al vessant de gregal (nord-est) de Mallorca, concretament a la finca pública de Son Real (TM Santa Margalida). També s’han realitzat una sèrie de prospeccions sobre dues espècies de gasteròpodes actuals en diversos punts de la costa de Mallorca i Cabrera, amb la intenció d’utilitzar-los com a referència envers els pretèrits. La tria de l’espai de Son Real no és casual, hi ha una representació de pràcticament totes les cultures que es desenvolupen durant la prehistòria i protohistòria mallorquina, amb la consideració d’algun dels seus jaciments com a emblemàtic. Per altra banda, en les seves intervencions arqueològiques més actuals es gaudeix d’uns adequats estàndards de qualitat i la conservació de totes (o gran part de) les restes faunístiques.Per a cada un dels jaciments s’han descrit i s’han establert les fases o moments cronològics amb els que s’han pogut dividir la seva activitat, exposant-se el resultats de cada un dels aspectes analitzats i les oportunes conclusions, a escala de fases, de jaciment i globals. S’ha evidenciat la vinculació entre algunes de les agrupacions temporals establertes dins dels jaciments, la qual cosa ha permès relacionar les activitats que s’hi realitzaven a través del temps, així com començar diferenciar zones o espais específics dels jaciments gràcies a una presència desigual de les restes. Pel que fa als exemplars actuals, l’estudi s’ha centrat en Patella rustica i Phorcus turbinatus, dues de les espècies més abundants en els jaciments, i en conseqüència, amb major volum de dades. Aquest ha permès realitzar una fotografia recent de l’estat de les citades comunitats, la qual ha servit per entreveure possibles canvis en la seva composició i especialment en les talles dels exemplars arqueològics envers els contemporanis. Malgrat algunes mancances en la informació disponible, és evident que els mol·luscs marins formaven part de la vida dels habitants prehistòrics de Mallorca, tant pel que fa al seu vessant alimentari com en els aspectes rituals o simbòlics. Els exemplars extrets dels contextos arqueològics provenen d’ambients propers, però no són el seu reflex directe, amb la qual cosa és versemblant suposar una captura / recollida selectiva. Per poder acabar d’entendre el seu verdader paper en aquelles societats i per tenir una visió més clara de les comunitats naturals costaneres, caldrà aprofundir i ampliar l’estudi i les anàlisis sobre les restes de mol·luscs i, a ser possible, ampliar-la cap a altres vertebrats i invertebrats marins. Encara hi ha molt camí per recórrer.<br>This research work is an approach to the prehistory and protohistory of Majorca through the study of the remains of marine molluscs from archaeological sites (Archeomalacology). There is demonstrate of the use of marine molluscs in Mallorcan prehistoric age, although the present work focuses is specially focused on the last cultural period (s. VI / s. II BC). This has been achieved thanks to the work on a series of archaeological sites located in the public estate of Son Real (northeast of Majorca). Some surveys have also been carried out on two species of current gastropods at several points along the coast of Majorca and Cabrera, with the intention of using them as a reference in respect of the preterites. The link between some of the temporary groupings within the deposits has been evidenced, which has allowed to relate the activities that were carried out through time, as well as begin to differentiate specific zones or spaces thanks to the unequal presence of the remains. Regarding the current specimens, the study has concentrated on Patella rustica and Phorcus turbinatus, two of the most abundant species in the deposits and, consequently, with a greater volume of data. These have allowed to make a recent picture of the state of these communities and the extracted information has served to glimpse possible changes in their composition and specially in the sizes of the archaeological specimens in respect to the contemporaries.It is evident that marine molluscs were part of the life of the prehistoric inhabitants of Majorca, both in terms of food as well as ritual or symbolic aspects. The specimens found in the archaeological contexts come from nearby environments, but they are not their direct reflection, by which it is possible to assume a selective capture / collection. In order to finish understanding their true role in those societies and to have a clearer vision of coastal natural communities, it will be necessary to deepen and broaden the study and analysis of mollusc remains and, if possible, expand it to other marine vertebrates and invertebrates.

Full textAbstract:
In the western Mediterranean, deep water decapod crustaceans form a considerable fraction of the megafaunal biomass in the upper and middle slope, being a very important component of the catches of the commercial fishery. The main objective of this thesis is to analyse the community and population dynamics of the deep water decapod crustaceans off the Balearic Islands. Data have been obtained from scientific surveys, from the fishing sector and from selectivity pilot studies. Univariate and multivariate techniques have been used to analyse the data. The knowledge derived from this thesis provide relevant information about how the species traits are mainly affected by water masses, sediment characteristic, trophic resources and fishing, since they influence the bathymetric distribution, abundances, biological parameters and condition of decapod crustaceans at a local scale. This knowledge is a key point for a better assessment of the resources and for a better application of the Ecosystem-Based Approach Management in the Mediterranean deep water ecosystems

Full textAbstract:
For centuries, halal is a spiritual concept that Muslims continue to follow in their daily lives, specifically when purchasing and consuming products. The Muslim community takes up a big part of the world population. The demand for halal food consumption is increasing rapidly in line with the expansion of the Muslim community with 2.1 billion Muslims worldwide. Halal food becomes a profitable business not only among the Muslim majority countries, but also in countries where the majority are non-muslims. Viewed from an Islamic perspective, the concept of halal is vital to a Muslim. Halal means "allowed" or "permitted" in Islam). Therefore, Muslims will look for products in accordance with accepted religious teachings. This is marked by the number of demands in the world for halal products that already have a Halal certification. Halal appeal displayed in a product becomes a distinctive attraction and identity from similar products that become competitors. This becomes one of the more explorable product marketing tools. Countries with Non-Muslims as their majority are also showing tremendous positive demand trends. With this, the demand for halal food is also noticeable. The demand for halal food consumption is increasing rapidly in line with the expansion of the Muslim community with 2.1 billion Muslims worldwide. The 'Halal' concept has become a new trend in the consumer goods industry, especially with food, and is gaining more popularity. The reason behind it being the fact that the halal concept is not just a purely religious issue, it is now also in the dynamic of business and trade. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the factors that influence purchase intention of halal food among Spanish Muslim consumers. This study aims to tackle questions on the perception of Muslim consumers in Spain towards halal food, and the intention to purchase the halal products, we also take into account the moderating role of religious involvement. This study also observes the mediating role of the halal attitude towards halal" between "halal consciousness" and "purchase intention"; and the moderating role of "religious involvement" between " attitude towards halal" and "purchase intention". Last, this thesis also study the effect of “halal consumers’ attitude” as a moderating variable to measure both indirect and direct effects of some constructs on purchase intention. Data were obtained from a survey of Muslim consumers living in various religions of Spain, then analysed using the partial least squares (PLS) technique. The results showed that product awareness does not have an effect on purchase intention while other constructs do, including the mediating effect of consumers' attitude towards halal label and moderating effect of religious involvement. This study thus contributes to the advancement of knowledge on factors that motivate the purchase intention of halal food.

Full textAbstract:
This book addresses the history of interaction in the Aegean world during the third century BC. The main focus is the island of Delos and its important regional sanctuary. Through a thorough investigation of the Delian epigraphic and material evidence, it explores how and to which degree the islands of the southern Aegean formed active networks of political, religious, and cultural interaction. The book aims to show that this kind of regional interaction in the southern Aegean resulted in the creation of a regional identity, which was expressed, among other things, in the existence of a federal union of the islands, the so-called Islanders’ League. It is structured along the lines of four case studies which explore different types of networks around Delos: the federal organization of islands (Islanders’ League), the participation of Delian and other agents in the processes of monumentalization of the Delian landscape, the network of honours, and the social dynamics of dedication through the record of dedicants in the Delian inventories.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines the history of the Islanders’ League (koinon ton nesioton), a federal organization centred on Delos, from the late fourth until the middle of the third century. It discusses the evidence of structure, key officials, and membership. The main source of evidence for the history of the League is a number of key decrees that the League produced and published on Delos, including the Nicouria decree. The chapter proposes that the Islanders’ League is the expression of a strong regional island identity, and emphasizes the islanders’ own agency in the processes of negotiation of power in the heavily contested space of the third-century Aegean.

This chapter provides a summary of the previous case studies. It discusses the four networks examined over the course of the book,. The first case study explores the history of the Islanders’ League. It proposes that the League is the expression of a strong regional island identity. The second case study focuses on the history of monumentalization of Delos. By exploring the different funding sources for building activity on Delos, it shows the active engagement of the Delian community, the Hellenistic kings, and other non-royal individuals in the monumentalization processes. The third case study examines the Delian network of honours which was geographically immense, with the southern Aegean as the primary region of local interaction, and with specific clustering beyond this primary region. The fourth case study focuses on the evidence of the Delian inventories in order to reconstruct the social dynamics of dedication.

Full textAbstract:
This paper addresses the issue of water supply in the houses of Delos during the Late Hellenistic period. The small size of the island and the limited rainfall allow the formation of only seasonal streams. The only natural water resource of the island was the underground water. Consequently, the inhabitants of Delos used wells, cisterns and infiltration wells to secure the water supply. Wells are more numerous than cisterns and infiltration wells are rare. All of these installations are usually found in the courtyard of the house, but they can also be found in other locations, which generally indicates that they were kept there after a rearrangement of the house. The shape and size of these installations vary according to the nature of the ground in which they were dug, the needs of the house and the means at the disposal of its owners. The distribution of water supply installations in the houses is generally equal in the different neighbourhoods of the city, even if not all houses had their own water resource. The inhabitants of the houses of Delos seem to have used the limited natural resources of the island to secure the water that was necessary to a household.

Full textAbstract:
In 95 BC, a new king came to the throne of Armenia, southeast of Pontos. Tigranes II and Mithridates VI quickly became allies, with the former marrying the latter’s daughter. In a joint operation, both kings attacked Cappadocia, in southern Asia Minor on the Mediterranean. But the Romans, in the person of L. Cornelius Sulla, already had a presence in the region, and this led to the first clash between Pontos and the Roman Republic. Yet Mithridates was commemorated in Greece on the island of Delos, where a Mithridateion was built in his honor. But the Romans became ever more concerned about the king and sent a Roman commission to investigate his actions, which ordered the king to act with more restraint. He was totally offended, and events slipped toward war between Rome and Pontos.

Full textAbstract:
Pharnakes was succeeded by his brother Mithridates IV in the early 150s BC. His reign was brief, and his son, the powerful Mithridates V, became king within a decade. Mithridates V ruled for thirty years; during his reign the important state of Pergamon, to the west of Pontos, came to an end with its territory willed to the Roman Republic. This gave Rome territory on the Asian mainland. At first Pontic policy was to support Roman ambitions: Mithridates V sent aid to them in their third war against Carthage. His international posture was recognized by the island state of Delos and elsewhere in the traditional Greek world. But around 120 BC he was assassinated at Sinope on the Black Sea, which had replaced Amaseia as the Pontic capital; he was the only Pontic king to suffer such a fate.

Full textAbstract:
Increasing warfare in Greece involved the Athenians, who sided with Rome in their best interests. But in Macedonia, Philip V’s death led to his son Perseus becoming king. Eventually he and Rome went to war—the Third Macedonian War. It ended in Rome’s victory in a battle at the hands of Aemilius Paullus, after which Rome ended the Antigonid dynasty and split up the Macedonian kingdom to bring to an end the Macedonian state. Importantly for Athens, Rome granted the city the island of Delos, which had a profound effect on the Athenian economy because of its prosperity. An Athenian embassy to Rome—the so-called philosophers embassy—also introduced the Romans to the three major types of philosophy studied at Athens, and Romans began to take a serious interest in them, and by extension Greek culture. But increasing warfare in Greece and the belligerence of the Achaean League forced Rome to intervene, and to annex Greece formally into its empire: a watershed year for Greece. Athens did not suffer, and the chapter ends considering its position in the Greek world, and diplomatic dealings with Hellenistic kings like the Ptolemies and Seleucids.

Full textAbstract:
Antigonus lacked any institutional means of controlling the Greeks, such as the League of Corinth, so he resorted to more repressive measures. Even under the kings, the Greek states had considerable local freedom, and the pace of local political life scarcely slackened in the third century. But many of the states were impoverished, so that they became dependent on handouts from the kings, and came also to rely on their wealthy citizens to supply money and hold political offices. Antigonus’s measures were focused largely on the Peloponnese, where he imposed or supported sole rulers (“tyrants”), and installed military garrisons as well. Much of the Peloponnese became effectively occupied territory. At the same time, he was attacking Ptolemaic possessions in Asia Minor. But resentment built up in Greece, and an alliance between Ptolemy, Athens, and the Peloponnesians led to the Chremonidean War (268-262). I go into as much detail as can be recovered about this war, which Antigonus resoundingly won, and the naval battle of Cos against Ptolemy that followed and limited Egyptian encroachment on the Aegean. In celebration, Antigonus enhanced the sacred island of Delos with festivals and a magnificent stoa.

El procés de posar de manifest les pedreres de marès com un dels paisatges característics de Mallorca 
 passa per entendre com aquestes han influït en la seva formació. L'objectiu principal de la investigació és la 
 demostració de la hipòtesi originària de la tesi, la qual entén que les pedreres de marès són configuradores 
 de la identitat de l'illa i, per tant, mereixen ser reconegudes com a components de valor d'aquest territori. El 
 procés de reconeixement del Paisatge de Pedreres en el territori de Mallorca neix de l'anàlisi mitjançant la 
 representació d'aquest cas d'estudi. La memòria, com a element intangible, no es troba present de manera 
 material en el territori, però ha configurat la presència de rastres que en possibiliten la seva lectura. La 
 reconstrucció de la memòria vinculada a les pedreres de marès a partir de la cartografia del procés que les 
 ha originat i de la lectura de les seves traces intangibles serà el que permetrà visualitzar el seu imaginari 
 col·lectiu com a imatge d'aquest paisatge arribant a determinar una identitat alhora reconeguda i pendent de 
 descobrir The process of highlighting the sandstone quarries as a typical landscape of Mallorca means to understand 
 how they have influenced its formation. The aim of this research is the demonstration of the originary
 hypotheses of the thesis, which understands that the sandstone quarries are modelers of the 
 island's identity and, therefore, deserve to be recognized as components of value in the territory. The 
 process of recognition of the Quarries Landscape in Mallorca is born from the analysis through representing 
 this study case. Memory, as an intangible element, is not materially present in the territory, but has set the 
 presence of traces which make possible reading it. The reconstruction of the memory linked to the 
 sandstone quarries through mapping the process that has originated them and reading from their intangible 
 traces will allow us to view their collective imaginary as a landscape image determining an identity, both 
 recognized and awaiting to be discovered

Full textAbstract:
El procés de posar de manifest les pedreres de marès com un dels paisatges que conformen la identitat i memòria d’una part molt extensa de Mallorca passa per desenvolupar la consideració de l’existència d'un lligam de component territorial entre aquestes pedreres. El desenvolupament de la noció de territorialitat vinculada a les pedreres intenta ser una nova mirada interpretativa d’aquestes, fins ara enteses com a entitats aïllades immerses en una totalitat desconeguda. La lectura, a través del reconeixement de l'evolució en el temps, del conjunt de pedreres es construeix sobre una matriu territorial evolutiva on les pedreres esdevenen rastres d’aquest procés. La representació d'aquests rastres de diferents estadis temporals provoca la detecció de conjunts de pedreres, presents en gran part de la geografia de l'illa, apuntant a l'existència d’un Territori de Pedreres, determinant d’una percepció d’un nou paisatge que, a través de les pedreres, configura una nova identitat de Mallorca. The discovering process of the sandstone quarries as landscapes of identity and memory of a huge part of Mallorca begins with the development of the thought of a territorial link between these quarries.
 The development of a territorial notion linked to the quarries tries to offer a new interpretation of these, until now
 understood as isolated entities immersed in an unknown entirety. The interpretation,
 through the irtemporal evolution, is constructed upon an evolutionary territorial matrix where the quarries become traces of this process. The representation of these traces of different temporary stages causes the detection of some groups of quarries, which can be found in most of the island, and points to the existence of a Land of
 Quarries, determining the perception of a new landscape that, through the quarries,
 configures a new identity of Mallorca.
