Abstract
The “E.Stone” project is based on the survey, documentation investigation and physical, geochemical and petrographic characterisation of the great zoomorphic and phytomorphic stones of Sardinia. The name chosen to indicate this project means the full value of these stones, standing before the beginning of human history. The main task of this project is to survey and to document, with an accurate laserscan survey, supported by topographical survey and integrated by GPS tracing and photographic and photogrammetric survey and supported by specific investigations on the rock characteristics. The further development of the collected data will be aimed to the definition of a digital “state of the knowledge” about the stone. This research will produce two main benefits: the creation of a clear and stable archive of these monuments and on the second hand will create the possibility to reply at any distance, a copy in any material of the original item.
