History[]

The principal building material in Europe during the Dark Ages was wood, which was available in abundance. Next most useful was stone salvaged from decaying Roman buildings that no one knew how to repair. As civilization coalesced in this area once more, the construction trades revived and stone became more desirable and affordable as a building material. Stone mining, or quarrying, required technology for making stone-cutting tools and moving stone from the quarry to the building site.
