The Volinian Adancata sandstone (Lower Sarmatian) is exploited from the northwestern part of the Moldovian Platform, which represents the continuation of the great East-European Platform and which lies in front of the Eastern Carpathians (in Eastern Romania).
Adancata sandstone is a slightly micaceous carbonate sandstone that has been exploited since the Middle Ages to the present, with some temporal syncopes after the Second World War. The current exploitation of the sandstone levels is made in two quarries located in the area named locally Poiana Odaii, area situated administratively in the suburb of Burdujeni district on the territory of Suceava municipality. Adancata sandstone is a building material of local interes, being used since the Middle Ages in the construction of the major historical buildings, including the Sunday of-All the Saints church in Han?e?ti (15th century) and all the other churches from Han?e?ti, Adancata, Mitocul Dragomirnei villages (Suceava county). Adancata sandstone is an important stone material used nowadays for modern constructions, but also in the reconstruction and restoration of historical buidings and monuments. The exploitation of the sandstone deposits is made by soil scraping and rock extraction. The small sandstone pieces resulting from the operation, which can not be marketed are mixed with the stripped soil forming a mixic anthropogenic material subsequently used to cover the areas from which the rock extraction was made. This technique changes the structural qualities and the textural and chemical properties of the soil, which from an initially arable land becomes a grassland. |
