Monte Torretta (Pietragalla, PZ) represents one of the most interesting and less known settlements of ancient Lucania. The site was investigated in the last 50 years by several archaeological activities, but no result has been published so far. In order to study and disseminate the archaeological value of the site, the Université Paris 1 Panthéon‐Sorbonne and the Humboldt‐Universität zu Berlin has established the joint Pietragalla Project. The project is based on a multidisciplinary approach, which aims at studying the settlement and at recovering the lost information obtained by the previous archaeological works. The first geophysical activities conducted on the site offer important results, which increase the knowledge of the site and will help the archaeologists in their future investigation. Through the comparison and integration of different geophysical methodologies, including ground penetrating radar, electrical resistivity tomography and geomagnetic measurements, various information was obtained in proximity of the fortification walls and the two main gates of the site. Moreover, geological and geomorphological interpretations highlighted important information on the archaeological site. The obtained results show the importance of geophysical activities in a context strongly damaged by rural activities of the last century. From an archaeological point of view, the geophysical surveys conducted in 2017 and 2018 show a dense building activity within the area enclosed by the walls. Thanks to these results, we are now able to understand the settlement pattern in the longue durée, at the least for the western part of the infra‐muros area.
Durant l'été 2012, l'équipe franco-italienne a mené la quatrième campagne de prospection archéologique dans la basse vallée du Lao 1. Contrairement aux précédentes campagnes, aucune activité de fouille n'a eu lieu dans le parc archéologique de Laos-Marcellina. Nous rendrons donc compte ici de la seule prospection du territoire, coordonnée par Alain
Vincenzo Capozzoli presents VERGILIUS, a collaborative platform for studying and promoting the heritage of the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, which consists in Greek antiquities, a
model of the ancient city of Rome, a collection of pottery sherds from the Near East, a corpus of stamp seals from ancient Iran, several thousands of slides and photographs, the archives of
former professors, a collection of plaster casts and a film library. Since October 2011, these collections have been digitized and organised into archives and virtual exhibitions.
This work has proved a valuable training instrument for students, who learn about the objects and their history but also significantly improve their IT skills.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
