Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is a precious and reliable research tool broadly used in archaeology because of its capacity to produce three-dimensional data about features preserved underground, such as buildings, infrastructures, and burials, as well as building rubble. GPR data (time-slices) management and exploitation in Geographic Information...

A specific tool for GPR data processing has been designed in the context of the project RESEARCH (REmote SEnsing techniques for ARCHaeology – H2020-MSCA-RISE- 2018 n. 823987). The project addresses risk assessment procedures for archaeological sites threatened by environmental pressures, as land-use change, land movement and soil erosion, and the c...

Archaeological Heritage, naturally endangered by environmental processes and anthropogenic pressures, is today increasingly at risk, because of intense human activities and climate change, and their impact on atmosphere and soil. European research is increasingly dedicated to the development of good practices for monitoring archaeological sites and...

Soil erosion poses a serious threat to the preservation of archaeological deposits. The RESEARCH project defined an articulated and innovative workflow that integrates archaeological and geological/environmental data to produce a detailed mapping of soil erosion risk by using open-source software and datasets. This article illustrates the risk asse...

The aim of this paper is to report on the investigation of the lituus, an Etruscan musical instrument from the “monumental complex” of Pian di Civita (Tarquinia, Italy), taking advantage of the potentiality of non-invasive portable X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, video-microscope and radiography. In this case, the use of portable instrumentation w...

This paper reports on the investigation of a number of metal musical instruments, from the Roman period, by combining non-invasive portable X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy and technical analysis. The study is part of the European project EMAP (European Music Archaeology Project, 2013-2018) which aims to highlight Europe’s ancient cultural roots fro...

The Roman macellum, became over the years part of the imperial propaganda, shares the same development of its hosting cities: in fact, it could appear only in centers with the rank of municipium, of colonia or of civitates capitales (i.e. in Britannia and in the Asturias). The result is that the macellum not only is built in contexts representing a...

This book presents the outcomes of the recent exploration of Bahriya, an Egyptian oasis located in the Western Desert about 350 km south-west of Cairo. Part I of the volume is devoted to the southern part of the Oasis (also known as El-Hayz) and the exploration carried out there by the team led by the Czech Institute of Egyptology, Charles Universi...

Stefano De Angeli, Problemi di iconografia romana: dalle Moire aile Parche, p. 105-128. Seppur tramite attestazioni non particolarmente numerose, ben chiaro è il ruolo delle Moire all'interno dell'immaginario religioso e figurato greco, in connessione in particolare con determinati contesti cultuali e mitici, quali la nascita ed il matrimonio di d...
