L’archeologia preventiva come ambito professionale

Cristina Anghinetti — 2024-11-20

Preventive archaeology has increased
the number of work possibilities
in design and execution.
The archaeologist must acquire a
new professional mentality, open
to dialogue with other professional
figures. This theme includes
collaboration on interventions
in OG2 and participation in the
construction of spatial planning
tools. The open professional horizon
projects the archaeologist into
the world of actual design, putting
him in a position to provide
proposals, solutions and produce
work that can be understood by
other designers and those who will
have to carry out the work.

Tra evoluzione normativa e buone pratiche: il Geoportale Nazionale per l’Archeologia (GNA)

Valeria Boi — 2024-11-20

In recent years the role of preventive archaeological
investigations - and consequently
that of archaeologists -in territorial
and urban transformation became more
and more important; On the other hand,
the time allocated to archaeological investigation
is often severely compressed: so, it
is essential to exercise targeted and effective
action and, even more so, to have in-depth
knowledge of the context on which the
project impacts. The National Geoportal
for Archaeology is a useful tool, making
archaeological data available for consultation
and free reuse. Its usefulness is growing
every day, thanks to recent provisions that
provide for the use of the GNA as a standard
for the delivery of minimum data for all
archaeological investigations.

Dall’archeologia preventiva al consciuous planning

Rodolfo Brancato — 2024-11-20

Protection as an Opportunity for Research and Enhancement of Historical
Landscapes in Etruria and Sicily. Over the last few decades, Italy has been a
key player, both as a subject and object, in the international debate on the
topic of preventive archaeology. After some pioneering experiences dedicated
to the evaluation and planning of a preventive approach, significant steps have
been taken to stimulate the interest of stakeholders as well in the strategic
value of the archaeological data that emerge from surveys and excavations. Despite
recent developments in non-invasive investigative techniques, excavation
intervention remains very often indispensable: the enhancement of the results
implies not only potential advancements in the knowledge of the archaeological
landscape but could also constitute the central element of conscious
planning.

L'archeologia preventiva: documentazione, formazione e comunicazione

Elena Calandra — 2024-11-20

The preventive assessment of archaeological
interest is law in Italy since
2005, but was practised since well before:
it is the normative and scientific
medium that regulates the relationship
between public works and archaeology,
and as such needs to be properly
communicated by the archaeologists
in charge, so as to interest and involve
citizens.

Aquinum, un caso di studio da manuale

Giuseppe Ceruado — 2024-11-20

This contribution, without the presumption of outlining
the guidelines of the field, aims to stimulate debate
and discussion on the operational choices applied or applicable
in different areas of Ancient topography investigations,
with particular attention to the refinements of
research, study methods, and tools used. All of this is
achieved through the presentation of the case study of
Aquinum, a Roman colony in South Latium, highlighting
direct experiences conducted in the field to illustrate
the strategic project and its corresponding results, avoiding
abstract theorizations.

Metodi per la documentazione e la valorizzazione dei contesti di Archeologia Preventiva

Emanuel Demetrescu — 2024-11-20

This paper presents innovative methods for documenting and enhancing
preventive archaeology contexts, drawing from the experience of Rome's
Metro C project. It illustrates the evolution of techniques for reconstructing
ancient landscapes, from GIS-based stratigraphic modeling to photorealistic
3D visualizations. The integration of heterogeneous data sources,
including core samples, historical maps and excavation records, allows
creating comprehensive "digital replicas" of archaeological sites. These
virtual reconstructions, enhanced by the Extended Matrix methodology,
serve both scientific analysis and public dissemination, paving the way for
new approaches in cultural heritage management.

Il rapporto tra Archeologia Preventiva e sviluppo Infrastrutturale

Francesca Frandi — 2024-11-20

Gruppo Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane, has been the first Italian
engineering company to equip itself, since the 1990s, with its
own staff of professional archaeologists capable of managing all
archaeological activities functional to the design and construction
of railway works and to resolve any interference between new
railway works and the archaeological heritage. The team works
in collaboration with the territorially competent Archaeological
Superintendencies in Italy and is registered in the Ministry of
Culture’s list of operators qualified to draw up the Archaeological
Assessment Document, bringing the latest non-invasive archaeological
investigation methods.

Costruire la sostenibilità sociale dell'archeologia preventiva. Un cantiere aperto

Fabio Pinna — 2024-11-20

Preventive archaeology in Italy integrates
aspects of social sustainability, although
these may be less visible compared to
environmental and economic dimensions.
The protection of cultural heritage,
inherent in preventive archaeology,
offers opportunities for education, community
engagement, and the preservation
of shared identities. However, social
sustainability often remains underemphasized
in administrative processes,
limiting public participation and the
potential for community involvement.
Addressing these challenges requires
both administrative adaptability and
public initiatives to ensure that preventive
archaeology can fully contribute to
social cohesion and sustainable cultural
management.

Per una carta del potenziale archeologico di Roma

Mirella Serlorenzi — 2024-11-20

The Soprintendenza Speciale di Roma is developing a new application to set up a ‘Map of the Archaeological Potential of Rome’ within the SITAR platform. The research group is developing a solid system for the Rome Archaeological Potential Map, which is based on the great documentary heritage included in the system, i.e. 25,000 archaeological partitions and over 10,000 cores collected and processed. With a view to a participatory philosophy, this tool will be implemented through the input of data entered by individual users of the platform. The final elaboration will soon be available on the SITAR webgis.

Geodati per l’archeologia
