Abstract: | For the restoration of old official buildings in Mal ta, blocks from old pavements were used in 1973. These blocks, approximately 2 x 3 x 6 cm were cut into sheets 2 cm thick at the stone-cutting factory La Rosa Ltd.. and laid and finished as floors in the buildings in a satisfactory way. However, as these blocks will be exhausted in 1974, the present investigation was carried out in order to investigate the possibility of quarrying blocks in the future for the above-mentioned purpose, from Malta's "hard stone". |
