Sardinian mines: from place of work to place of memory and identity. The case of Sarrabus-Gerrei
Abstract
The mining activity in Sardinia has very distant origins; its beginning can be placed at least in 6.000 B.C., when skilled craftsmen started the exploitation of the obsidian of Monte Arci, in the province of Oristano. In some areas of the island the mining activity has had such a duration and importance to transform in a deep and irreversible way the economic and social fabric and to indelibly mark the territory, giving rise to a particular type of cultural landscape: the mining landscape. The industrial-scale establishment of mining activity, in fact, beyond to introduce production methods that were previously unknown, has brought about great territorial transformations with the rapid birth of new artefacts: factories and the structures that function in them.
