Abstract
Three hundred and fourteen Roman granite columns at seven sites in Israel have been provenanced to their quarry sources, using a combination of mineralogy, magnetic susceptibility, portable gamma ray spectrometry and electron microprobe analysis. Most of the columns (195) originate in the Troad area of western Turkey. A small number (6) come from other sources in western Turkey, probably all from Kozak Dağ. The remainder of the columns (113) are from the Aswan quarries in Egypt. Ashkelon was importing most of its columns from Turkey (Troad), while Caesarea Maritima imported a greater percentage of Aswan columns.
