Abstract

Abstract:Activities related to the extraction and exploitation of natural resources are varied in Tunisia. But the most important numerically and spatially are stone quarries, which, once abandoned, are considered as low-value land and, in most cases, become an environmental nuisance, even though they have the potential to be of great natural, scientific, or cultural interest. The abandoned calcareous sandstone quarries that were opened in the Tyrrhenian barrier beach on the eastern coast of the Cap Bon peninsula (northeast Tunisia) illustrate this. The industrial quarrying started in the 1970s, but more detailed observations of the site reveal that the recent quarries often overlap with older ones dating back to antiquity. The site is very rich in archaeological remains and offers the opportunity not only to analyze and understand the variety of the landscape, but also the evolution of extraction techniques over time. This paper is devoted to sharing better knowledge and valuation of the quarries and their heritage, landscape, and environmental assets. It also aims to provide ideas for reintegrating them into their environment and making them useful spaces for the towns of the east coast of the peninsula, which are undergoing very rapid urbanization.

突尼斯东北部Cap Bon半岛东岸的第勒尼安钙质砂岩采石场

摘要:在突尼斯，与自然资源的开采和开发有关的活动多种多样。但最重要的数字和空间是采石场，一旦被遗弃，它们被认为是低价值的土地，在大多数情况下，成为环境的滋扰，即使它们具有巨大的自然、科学或文化价值的潜力。在Cap Bon半岛(突尼斯东北部)东海岸的第勒尼安屏障海滩上，废弃的钙质砂岩采石场就说明了这一点。工业采石始于20世纪70年代，但对该遗址更详细的观察表明，最近的采石场经常与可追溯到古代的旧采石场重叠。该遗址有非常丰富的考古遗迹，不仅提供了分析和了解景观多样性的机会，而且还提供了提取技术随时间演变的机会。本文致力于分享采石场及其遗产、景观和环境资产的更好的知识和评估。它还旨在提供将它们重新融入环境的想法，并使它们成为半岛东海岸城镇的有用空间，这些城镇正在经历非常快速的城市化。

期刊介绍： Change Over Time is a semiannual journal publishing original, peer-reviewed research papers and review articles on the history, theory, and praxis of conservation and the built environment. Each issue is dedicated to a particular theme as a method to promote critical discourse on contemporary conservation issues from multiple perspectives both within the field and across disciplines. Themes will be examined at all scales, from the global and regional to the microscopic and material. Past issues have addressed topics such as repair, adaptation, nostalgia, and interpretation and display.
