Abstract (english)
This research deals with the study of two types of building materials (sandstone and limestone) used in the Roman city of Thamugadi founded in 100 AD (the present Timgad), and the ancient quarries from which they had been extracted (inside a perimeter of 25 km). The fieldwork survey conducted in the ancient quarries of Thamugadi revealed sites that were previously unknown. Petrographic studies led to the identification of three sandstone lithotypes and five limestone lithotypes among the building materials sampled from fourteen monuments of the city. The survey of rock outcrops led to the identification of two main sandstone lithotypes and quarries: (T1) Djelfaoune and (T2) Mechta Rebaa. Nine limestone lithotypes and four main groups of open cast quarries or exploitation sites have been identified: Djebel Afia-Lambèse-Ain Drinn, Taouint Abderahman, Medjeba-Berbaga, and Lerdham-Elghar Nithviren-Ain Cherchar.
