摘要
Several types of limestones have been traditionally used for building mosques,houses and sheds in the Fuwairit archaeological site(NE Qatar).These limestones were characterised,and profiles of semi-collapsed walls examined to estimate the percentage that each building stone occupied and its structural function.Holocene beachrocks were the most used building stones.
