Large Monoliths
Single blocks estimated between 10 and 1,000 tons — roughly the size of a small car at the lower threshold — requiring significant organised labour and mechanical advantage to quarry, transport, and place. Reference examples include the wall blocks of Hattusa, the sarsen stones of Stonehenge, and the lower platform courses at Sacsayhuamán.
