Résumé : | The island of Delos is located in the Cyclades, in Greece, and is known for its archaeological richness. Indeed, one of the largest and most prosper cities of ancient Greece took place there and its remains, which age is estimated at more than 4000 years, are in an exceptional state of conservation, which makes it touristically and scientifically very attractive. From a geological point of view, the island consists of a metamorphic basement that was intruded by a magmatic pluton during the subduction of the African plate under the Eurasian plate. Two types of surface formations are still visible today above metamorphic and magmatic rocks. Some of the rocks making up the island were mined at the time of the Greek occupation. This exploitation has left traces as ancient quarries and modern quarries. Some of these ancient quarries are trough quarries and tender rocks such as mylonites or gneiss were extracted. The other ancient quarries relate more generally of marble and granite mining. The calculation of the volume of all these quarries has made it possible to estimate an approximate value of the total volume of rocks extracted by the Greeks for the construction of the city of Delos. This work presents the bibliographic research, the results (Geological map and values of extracted rock volumes), their interpretation and discussion of geological mapping and the study of rocks of the island of Delos. It was produced in the context of a bachelor thesis. Fieldwork took place from August 14, 2017 to September 9, 2017 on the archaeological island of Delos. A first part of bibliography have been realized between September 2017 and January 2018. The final report was produced from January 2018 to May 2018. |
