LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS 330 $aMineral building materials and regionally related methods of processing are an essential part of building culture throughout the Himalayas. Based on transregional knowledge transfer, raw materials have been able to find an ecologically and economically optimised destiny in particular local applications. For this study, samples were collected as raw material or originated from certain building components. Samples were analysed according to their material properties and architectural application. Traditional building techniques were examined and their correlation with traceable material qualities studied. Clay-specific properties such as colour, grain size distribution, grain shape, hardness, plasticity, organic additives, or bulk and clay mineral properties were used as comparative parameters. This study gives fresh insight into the interaction between technical requirements, environmental resources and material implementation. It is the first scientific approach in studying the Himalayan earthen heritage in a wide scope and connecting material research and cultural heritage from various perspectives - in particular archaeology, architecture, research on materials and building techniques. 606 $aMineralogy & gems$2bicssc 606 $aHistory of engineering & technology$2bicssc 606 $aMaterials science$2bicssc 608 $aElectronic books. 615 7$aMineralogy & gems 615 7$aHistory of engineering & technology 615 7$aMaterials science 676 $a691/.4095496 700 $aFeiglstorfer$b Hubert$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0930242 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996312646603316 996 $aMineral Building Traditions in the Himalayas$92092415 997 $aUNISA
