12 Why news items?

In this section we offer selective news items sometimes as ‘seed’ to allow us to expand the information or discuss a topic within a larger context. These might be stories about issues as wide-reaching as industry, safety, art, anthropology, archeology, quarries or tools demonstrate the liveliness of thought opened up by the world of stone.
