Problems of the Protection of Traces of Classical Masonry on the Isle of Marmara (Proconnesus)

Abstract

Information about the discovery and securing of marble objects in seven lapidaria on the island of Marmara Adasi, known in antiquity as Proconnesus. Despite certain gaps, a uniform policy is applied for the protection of the monuments. The exhibits are recorded in inventories, placed in temporary lapidaria, accessible and prepared for conservation. They comprise a permanent element of the lineage of material culture, harmoniously blended with the surrounding cultural-anthropogenic-natural environment
