Project description
 

The project will focus on the reconstruction of the evolution of alluvial landscapes, resulting in the creation of palaeoDEMs for different chronological periods, from which to produce maps of archaeological potential. Ravenna and part of the Romagna region have been selected as case study, while mainly geological and archaeological data will be used.
