Els forns de guix en les explotacions mineres hist貌riques de la Serra de na Burguesa (Mallorca)
Es presenta la descripci贸 i planimetria parcial dels forns de guix de la serra de na
Burguesa (Mallorca). Els conjunts de forns estudiats es presenten en parells i es localitzen a la
vora d鈥檃ntigues explotacions mineres de guix. La cronologia 茅s incerta per貌, segons la nostra
opini贸, alguns forns ja eren operatius durant el s. XVIII i alguns no es varen abandonar fins a
mitjans del s. XX. Actualment, la majoria es troben en runes per la qual cosa l鈥檕bjectiu d鈥檃quest
article 茅s documentar el que queda d鈥檃quests forns de guix abans que l鈥檈stat de deteriorament
augmenti i contribuir al coneixement d鈥檃quests elements del patrimoni miner de Mallorca.Here we present the description and partial planimetry of gypsum furnaces from Serra
de Na Burguesa (Mallorca). All sets of furnaces were built in pairs and they are located close to old
gypsum mines. Despite their uncertain chronology, here we argue that some of the furnaces were
operating during the 18th century and a few of them were not abandoned until mid-20th Century.
Currently most of the buildings are in ruins. For this reason, the objective of this paper is to document
the remains of these gypsum furnaces before the deterioration increases and also to contribute to the
knowledge of the mining heritage of Mallorca
