Progetto Survey Isole Tremiti: Studio territoriale dell’arcipelago tremitese

The Specialization School in Archaeological Heritage of the University of Bologna has promoted an archaeological fieldwork for its pupils, focusing on a territorial study aimed at investigating an area in South-East Italy: the Tremiti Islands, in particular San Domino, San Nicola and Capraia. This project aims at better understanding and enhancing this territory through the analysis of the islands geographical layout between being located in front of Apulia’s coast and, at the same time, their secluded nature. The first aim was to define the different settlement patterns thorough the various historical periods, on the basis of the material culture and the archaeological evidence collected on the field. The survey activity has been implemented also through significant data elaboration: photogrammetry, topographical surveying, documentation and study of materials, the use of databases and a GIS. The results have confirmed and expanded the previous studies.
