In the cited drawing, the quarrying technique which was in use during the early Christian era is visible.
Instead of using pins, the quarry workers opened small holes with a needle (ie a metal rod with a sharp tip which they hit with a small hammer, called epikopano) around the block that they wanted to detach of the bedrock. This technique is called pointillé (dotted, spotted) because it leaves traces like dots (in French points) on the marble. Although in Alyki, this technique is traced in the Roman-Christian quarries, it is generally known from archaic times.
