Reading a low-visibility record in the central Apennines: first results from the Archaeological Landscape Survey at Rascino Plateau, Italy

Mediterranean uplands often appear archaeologically poor, yet their surface record is shaped by geomorphic and post-depositional processes that vary over short distances. The 2025 Archaeological Landscape Survey at Rascino Plateau (ALSRaP) in Italy combines non-site survey and geoarchaeology to reconstruct the formation, preservation and visibility of the archaeological record in mountain landscapes.

Abstract

Mediterranean uplands often appear archaeologically poor, yet their surface record is shaped by geomorphic and post-depositional processes that vary over short distances. The 2025 Archaeological Landscape Survey at Rascino Plateau (ALSRaP) in Italy combines non-site survey and geoarchaeology to reconstruct the formation, preservation and visibility of the archaeological record in mountain landscapes.
