MarbleSignatures is a digital platform designed to convey archaeometric data, archaeological evidence, and scientific methodologies related to white marble used in art and architecture across the ancient Mediterranean world.The primary objective of MarbleSignatures is to provide archaeologists, art historians, and museum curators with web-based tools for analyzing and determining the origin of marble—that is, identifying the quarry sites from which the lithic material was extracted in antiquity.
