ARCHAIA: from excavation strategies to archaeological parks

The ARCHAIA network aims at supplying an integrated perspective deriving both from the human and the natural sciences, i.e. a global approach towards the planning and management of archaeological parks, starting from the very firs steps of fiel research and going through the characterisation of the materials retrieved and topographical studies, in order to mould every bit of historical information within coherent projects, properly displayed for the public. Dealing with the initial program of archaeological research in the field in-tegrated with techniques of archaeobiological and geoarchaeological investigation, the fina goal is to contribute in moulding research strategies and in managing archaeological sites, in order to be able to publicly display the historical contents derived from research results and also effectively proceed to the protection of archaeological heritage.
