Research aims
The research regards the application and development of novel
techniques of landscape archaeology in central Tyhrrenian Italy
and has a series of scientific objectives:
- The historical reconstruction and modelling of the
demography of a sample context of the middle Tiber Valley.
- The historical reconstruction of the territorial
exploitation of the area.
- The definition of the human causes for territorial change
and particularly for increased erosion
- The investigation of new and advanced use of satellite,
LiDAR and multi-spectral remote sensing data.
- New methodologies of archaeological surveying in an
historical ecology perspective.
The two year research project will be carried out by dr
Gabriele Cifani at the Department of Archaeology of Cambridge
University, under the supervision of Dr Simon Stoddart, supported
by the Unit for Landscape
Modelling of the Department of Geography.
Outcomes
- Training in novel landscape techniques
- Fieldwork in sample areas
