Valutazione integrata delle dinamiche di rischio di erosione del suolo in presenza di depositi archeologici. Il metodo proposto dal progetto RESEARCH (REmote SEnsing techniques for ARCHaeology)

Abstract

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 assessment methodology through the results of some simulations carried out on the site of Falerii Novi (IT) by comparing several open-source models dedicated to soil erosion and testing a new plug-in specifically designed to process high-resolution GPR data.
