On September the 21st, geologists Prof. Pierluigi Pieruccini and Dr. Davide Susini of the Department of physical science, Earth and environment(University of Siena)collected a micromorphological sample from a section at the site of Vetricella. This will be sent to the … Read More
On September the 11th 2017, the first multidisciplinary survey in Val di Cornia and Val di Pecora began. For a period of two months, September and October, in collaboration with the Department of Biotechnology, Chemistry and Pharmacy, students of archaeology … Read More
On August the nEU-Med Team made an archaeological investigation in Loc. Ficarella (Monterotondo Marittimo,Gr), a flat area located near the medieval fortified site of Cugnano, to better understand the stratigraphic sequence discovered for geothermic power plant realization (Centrale Monterotondo 2) … Read More
Geomorphological and geoarchaeological analysis along the Valley of river Pecora and river Ferriere currently ongoing, being part of the PhD project “Geoarchaeology of Medieval Landscape between the Colline Metallifere and the Tyrrhenian Sea (ERC nEU-Med Project)”. Field survey and Remote … Read More
At the excavations of Vetricella (Scarlino) and Carlappiano (Piombino) on-site pXRF analysis is used for the chemical characterization of the soil, structures and archaeological finds. In this case the main goal of this technique is his descriptive and predictive power. … Read More
Soil micromorphology is a branch of Earth Science that uses microscopic techiques for the analysis of the microstructure and the micro nature of the components of sediments and soils. In archaeology, micromorphology is a powerful tool, providing important information either … Read More
Tuesday 25th October the UAV flight, by ATS srl, has taken place for the 3D recording of Carlappiano (Piombino) and Vetricella(Scarlino) (Fig.1-2). 3D photogrammetry from UAV flight produces a 3D model of the entire excavation area, a fundamental support for … Read More
The excavation campaigns carried out at Vetricella (Scarlino) and Carlappiano (Piombino) are coupled with geoarchaeological and archaeobotanical investigations (Fig.1). During this phase the main aim of Geoarchaeology is to support archaeologist to define stratigraphy and environment of deposition of sediments … Read More
At the excavations of Vetricella (Scarlino) and Carlappiano (Piombino) an Image-based 3D modelling technique is used for the documentation of the entire stratigraphy. We decided to use the 3D model as the main form of documentation for its high precision … Read More
Sedimentological, Stratigraphical and Geomorphological analysis were performed at the surrounding of the Vetricella site, in particular along the sections opened during geoengineering works on the left banks of the Pecora river, few hundreds of meters to the NW from the site.… Read More
