AB The study of building stone dressing is still a new discipline, which is currently based on evolving methods of mechanoscopy and tool marks analysis. This article presents the initial results of a project systematically mapping the stone dressing in the Prague territory from the earliest structures to the present. Presented is the reconstruction of stone tools in various periods and the work with them, along with stone dressing practice during the construction of Prague Romanesque houses - a phenomenon that has no comparison in the Central Europe. Documentation of the processing of the construction material reveals the craft techniques of the late 12th and the first half of the 13th century.
