Some of the brand names were: Kamosarasa, Hototogisu, Awayuki. It has been known that some of the quarries were only active through very short time and were closed before the World War II. On the other hand, some quarries have started operation after the World War II. The presently active quarries mainly mine the limestone for industrial use. They also mine the limestone gravel to use for the production of the artificial marble board. In this paper, the location of the old and new quarries are shown on a map. Scanned image of the section of samples from the active quarries are shown with their brand names. The reasons that made Anan City a long provider of building marbles were discussed., 17H02008, 1520855665678622336, application/pdf}, pages = {41--46}, title = {徳島県阿南市の大理石産地の歴史と現状}, volume = {15}, year = {2022}, yomi = {イヌイ, ムツコ} }
