Abstract

The recurring questions about the identification of materials, especially the white marble, have led to the development of a program to identify materials by various analyses (size of the grains, accessory minerals, cathodoluminescence and isotopic analysis) with specific input from them. A systematic investigation concerning white marble artifacts of the Late Antiquity (IVth-VIIIth centuries) in Narbonnais, (South of France) gathered 100 samples, give a better knowledge of the quarries centers, the probable location of execution of works, their dissemination area and the role of the port of Narbonne, in a region in contact with the Mediterranean and Atlantic worlds.
