the use of advance quarrying techniques in ancient stone industry,. lt fuuher reveals that&#13;
almost all rhe stone monuments and sculptures ure made up oJ'Gneisses antl Marble of&#13;
Proterozoic metamorphic roc'ks. ,lclvonce rechnolagical understanding of slotte materials in&#13;

country is under threat of deterioration. Those in the World Heritage Sites ttf Arutradhapura,&#13;
Polonnaruwa, Sigiriya and Kandy show highly specific cleterioralion potlerns caused b1'&#13;

are dominqted by eliscoloration, flaking, fragmenlation, splitting, salt oystullization and&#13;
dissolution. Biological weatheringmainly by lichen grov'ths seems to be a silent agent and it&#13;
