New methodologies to analyze and study the Hellenistic-Roman quarter in Agrigento

The Agrigento Insula III Project began in 2016 thanks to a research agreement between the Parco Archeologico e Paesaggistico Valle dei Templi and the University of Bologna (DiSCi). In three years' time, this project shall aim to complete the documentation of the so-called Hellenistic-Roman quarter, a large inhabited area in the center of the colonial settlement. The intention of the team is to start a new systematic study of the house buildings techniques and procedures during the Archaic and Late Archaic Age, as well as to provide new data for contributing to the understanding of the ancient urban planning in a sector of the city still lacking in modern archaeological and topographical documentation.
