This project analyzes wear patterns on ancient stone thresholds and paving stones to understand historical traffic flow. By combining experimental rock mechanics with agent-based modeling, it aims to quantify movement intensity in archaeological contexts and enhance risk assessment for cultural heritage.
Stone architectural elements are perhaps the most ancient witnesses of an archaeological site.
Among those, threshold/paving stones are elements that take place almost at the first stage during the construction of the place.
Repetitive pedestrian or vehicle movement gradually leaves a mark; this is most visible on thresholds or paving stones.
The use-wear can be used to estimate which places and roads were used more; archaeologists are almost always successful in identifying spaces of movement f…
