The Parthenon primarily employs three types of joints in its construction: mortise and tenon joints, lap joints, and dowel joints. Mortise and tenon joints connect horizontal and vertical elements, providing strength and stability, while lap joints are used to join two pieces of stone or marble in a way that allows them to overlap. Dowel joints, made with wooden dowels, are used to reinforce connections between stones. These joints reflect the advanced engineering and craftsmanship of ancient Greek architecture.
