The quarrying of limestone and construction materials dates back to the earliest days of colonization while sporadic exploration and extraction of metallic minerals such as lead and
Jamaica’s bauxite industry rose to become a global leading bauxite producer, just five years after the first bauxite shipment left the island in 1952 (Jamaica Bauxite Institute). However, the country has diversified over the years with the emergence of nonmetallic minerals such as limestone, silica sand, marble, marl and fill and clay.

Introduction. Several archaeogenetic and ‘big data’ analyses have recently concluded that the introduction of mining and quarrying practices in Northern Europe at the beginning of Early Neolithic (c. 4000 BC) was related to migration and population change.In these studies, innovations in how flint for toolmaking was extracted from the ground are
Stakeholders in Jamaica’s development minerals industry have expressed gratitude for the provision of grants totalling €51,000 (approximately J$9 million) to 12 smallscale artisans and miners, to support their businesses and fund emergency responses to the coronavirus (COVID19) pandemic. The grants were provided under phase two of the
Largescale operations involving the mining of limestone and basement minerals (e.g., antimony, gold, and iron; Davison 2001) are a primary threat to karst biotas because they cause irreversible ecosystem damage and extirpations of siteendemic taxa (Vermeulen 1994). To estimate the magnitude of limestonequarrying activities in the
Abstract. In recent years social and environmental pressures have been threatening the supply of limestone aggregates in the urban areas of Jamaica. Faced with the problem of providing low price aggregates without creating intolerable environmental problems, a study made of the aggregate industry in the Kingston area showed that one possible

Largescale mining and quarrying influence landscape evolution (Haigh 1978; MartínDuque et al. 2010), sediment transfer (Macklin and Lewin 1989) and thus geomorphology of the whole system (Mossa and James 2013). Hard rock quarrying and laterite cutting in the study area have made critical impacts on geomorphology and

Unfortunately, these landscapes are made up of a substance that is very valuable to humans: limestone, a key ingredient in the manufacture of cement, concrete and mortar, and a commonly used material for buildings and stonework. Industrialscale quarrying represents a serious and increasing threat to limestone environments around the world.
