Abstract (english)	Initially explored by Gerhard Kapitän in the 1960s, the famous 6th c. AD ‘church wreck’ at Marzamemi (Sicily) - with its cargo of prefabricated religious architectural elements - holds a special place in discussions of the ancient stone transport and late antique exchange. Renewed investigations aim to shed light on the broader socioeconomic and historical circumstances surrounding the shipment, including patterns of maritime connectivity between the divergent east and west and the possible roles of imperial agency and local patronage in ambitious architectural programs. Critical to these questions are the origin and destination of the cargo. Stable isotope analysis offers a window into the geographic range of resources available for this architectural program and, by extension, possible clues to the organization of materials, labor, and sponsorship. Analysis of the historical and architectural context allows evaluation of plausible destinations. This study opens new possibilities for interpreting the social and political world of 6th century exchange and a re-evaluation of the multifaceted relationship between Justinian and the recently acquired imperial lands.
