Legacy GIS data integration and non-invasive survey for the study of the archaeological landscape of Atella (Caserta, Campania, Italy)

This paper presents results from a GIS-based approach applied in the archaeological study of Atella (Campania, Italy). The project integrates both new and legacy data using GIS technology, including a geophysical survey conducted at Sant’Arpino in 2006, and analyzes both field and proximal sensing data. The study, part of the Atella Archaeological Excavation Project led by University of Naples, aims to understand the city’s urban topography. It emphasizes the integration of various methods considering complexity, cost and data visualization challenges related to the archaeological surface record.
