The quest for useful methods for an effective classification of the multifaceted archaeological reality represents one of the long-standing problems of research in the field, which over the last century has attempted to find valid and functional classification methods for measuring different archaeological features. While in a typological context the debate is quite heated, especially in the classification of individual archaeological objects, in a territorial context the issue is still little addressed, especially if one wonders about the provenance of the information exploited for the development of more general studies on the territory. In this sense, the ever-increasing use of GIS systems as useful tools not only for the management but also for the mathematical analysis of data imposes the need to develop new methodological solutions in order to make GIS models, deriving from territorial analyses, effective systems of archaeological analysis in which the verisimilitude of the final result does not only lie in the correct numerical calculation by the chosen algorithm but above all in the reliability value possessed by each piece of data considered for the analysis itself. The doctoral work conducted on the upper Latium territory of the Mignone Valley, aimed at reconstructing the dynamics of population and the causes of the territorial transformation that occurred here between the 4th and 15th centuries AD, led to the development of a methodological expedient that, albeit small, made it possible to measure the level of chronological and topographical reliability of each datum surveyed, thus significantly influencing the final readings.

The goal of the project is to investigate the area in the center of Teotihuacan, between San Juan River, the Pyramid of the Sun and the Street of the Dead, named by Millon sectors N2E1 and N2E2, through the combined application of aerial photography with drone, topography, geophysical prospection techniques (magnetic, electric and georadar studies) to identify buried structures besides the study of chemical residues on the soil surface and the distribution of archaeological materials in selected areas, to identify human activities. The data obtained until now, suggest preliminary hypotheses about the distribution and depth of buried buildings, that should be part of a neighborhood with its components such as residential areas, workshops, temples, and squares.

The first mentions of the medieval fortress of Cervara di Roma date back to the year 1005. Over the centuries, it was damaged and rebuilt until it became a possession of the Colonna family. Excavation campaigns conducted in the area (2006-2008) have revealed four evolutionary phases, but the meagre archaeological remains do not allow an immediate reading of the area or an easy understanding of the ancient structures. This paper aim to give back to the community the possibility of understanding the evolution of the fortress through virtual reconstructions.
Starting from the studies and sources, the digital reconstruction project of the medieval fortress was developed. It consisted of three actions: a photogrammetric survey by drone, a digital processing of the 3D model and a three-dimensional modelling of the structures that no longer exist.

The Last Judgement, known as The Angry Christ, is a 60-square-meter contemporary mural painting by Alfonso Ossorio in Victorias, Negros Occidental, Philippines. The artist was reported to use the penetrative binder Ethyl Silicate 40 (ES40) together with an appropriate palette to withstand the harsh tropical conditions, as recommended by paint chemist Ralph Mayer. A combination of non-destructive and micro-destructive techniques was performed to look into the stratigraphy of the mural painting, clarifying the use of the tempera technique as a restoration intervention, characterizing physical and chemical reactions which resulted in chromatic alterations, and confirming the presence and depth of penetration of the ES40 binder. This study confirmed the presence of micro-cracks and organic compounds such as oxalates and metal carboxylates, and the use of the ES40 binder and several recommended palettes. This study can provide further information on the materials characterization and benefit future conservation-restoration interventions to this mural painting.

This paper shows the preliminary results of a new archaeogeophysics investigations in Piazza XX Settembre in Fano carried out thanks to a collaboration between the Vitruvian Studies Center, the Superintendence of Archeology, Fine Arts and Landscape for the Provinces of Ancona and Pesaro and Urbino, the Institute of Heritage Sciences of the CNR of Rome and the Municipality of Fano. The new research includes a high-resolution georadar survey and a bibliographic and archival research, still in progress, concerning the square and its surrounding. The main purpose of this new study is to understand the evolution of this city s sector from the Roman period to the Medieval age, and intends also to investigate the historical and archaeological knowledge of this area located in the city s center of Fano.
