In the context of the fruitful collaboration between PAThs, an ERC-funded project, and LAD, the Laboratory for Digital Archaeology at Sapienza University of Rome, an experimental attempt to link between them places being described by the Archaeological Atlas of Coptic Literature developed into a road graph for Late Antique Egypt.Desktop GIS softwar...
The site of Çuka e Ajtoit - now in Southern Albania, a few kilometers from the Greek border, and in antiquity a reference cen- ter of the Cestrine region - is known in bibliography for the imposing fortifications of the Hellenistic age, a planning of different building techniques, from the polygonal to the rectangular isodomic work. Almost nothing...
The site of Çuka e Ajtoit is located at the southern edge of present Albania, on the Greek border, and it has a rather long tradition od studies, that for different reasons are still today poorly published. The monumental fortifications of the Hellenistic city, built in polygonal and trapezoidal massive masonry, are by far the most impressive featu...
The paper discusses new trends in the archaeological documentation practice, heavily conditioned by the capillary diffusion of web-based technologies and cloud-based services. In this context, a close examination of BraDypUS, a libre and open source project both avail- able for download, self-hosting and as a cloud service, is presented. The online...
The Carte topographique de l'Égypte, published in 1828 by the French engineer Pierre Jacotin, has always been considered a significant means for the reconstruction of the ancient Egyptian landscape. This cartographic series can be used as an informative bridge linking the present and the past, in the effort to understand the many changes that have...
The Eastern Necropolis of the Roman city of Suasa was discovered during the 2012 archaeological campaign, while some stratigraphic trenches were carried out. The necropolis, investigated between the years 2012 and 2016, is located on the two sides of an ancient east-west road, which divides the cemetery into two areas, called north and south, with...
This paper has been conceived in the context of the activities of the Joint Archaeolog- ical Mission of Sapienza University of Rome and the Albanian Institute of Archaeology in Çuka e Ajoit (Albania), and is aimed at providing a general overview and assessment on the historical geography of the Cestrine region, where Çuka e Ajtoit is located. The a...
The digitisation and vectorisation of archaeological/architectonic graphical legacy documentation is a step that any archaeological project deals with and solves by following its own specific requirements. The article introduces the Simple Vectorisation Protocol (SVP), a GIS-based protocol for acquiring in the digital domain sketches and maps by fo...
Archeologia e tecnologie di rete. Metodi, strumenti e risorse digitali è un volume che fa il punto sulle applicazioni delle tecnologie di rete alla metodologia delle ricerca archeologica. L’archeologia è sempre stata una disciplina estremamente curiosa nei confronti delle innovazioni tecnologiche, e ha sperimentato precocemente ciò che le scienze i...

Its aim is to provide a n...
PAThs project is aimed at creating an online archaeological atlas of Coptic literature by providing for the very first time a detailed catalogue of ancient books and their archaeological and cultural context, following a multidisciplinary approach and cutting edge methodologies

Between 2012 and 2015 we coordinated multidisciplinary research with the purpose of reconstructing the history and evolution of the territory, analysing the relationships between man and landscape from the Prehistory to the Middle Age. The st...

The use of databases in the archaeological research, not only now broadly accepted and widespread, but itself promoted as a field of experimentation, re ection and education, is one of the most innovative frontiers in the archaeological theory and practice, both for the potential that databases offer to the development of the archaeological methodo...
Dal 2011 La MAIKI opera nei governatorati di Erbil e Sulaimaniya, e focalizza le sue attività sulla Cittadella di Erbil e sul sito di Paikuli. Gli studi storico-archeologici sui siti sono stati affiancati da importanti attività di documentazione e gestione dei dati caratterizzate dall’utilizzo di alcune tra le più moderne risorse a disposizione
