Il «Progetto Cignana» (Naro-Palma di Montechiaro, Sicilia). Carta archeologica e metodologie GIS per la ricostruzione delle dinamiche territoriali dall’età arcaica al tardo-antico

Abstract

The aim of the Cignana Project (Agrigento, Sicily) is to analyse the geographic context of a villa of imperial age, where a systematic archaeological survey has carried out since 2007, in order to detect the ancient settlements from prehistoric to medieval times. The archaeological data are analyzed by GIS methodologies (3D, supply basins, shortest path analysis), to understand intervisibility and interrelationship between sites of different rank, and finally to try and find out the resources available during the different periods.
