Rome - NE Palatine slopes: open-source methodologies and tools for the analysis of ancient architectures

The excavations of the NE slopes of the Palatine Hill in Rome has been the subject of a long archaeological research. Under the direction of C. Panella, the remains of many architectures and buildings have been unearthed, part of an urban tissue made by a continuous stratigraphic overlapping. Within this framework, our research has been focused on 3D survey, building archaeology, WebGIS and data sharing, experiencing the migration of our data set, analogical and digital, into free and open-source products. This article takes into consideration not only technical aspects but also the possibility of renewing methods for collecting, managing and sharing archaeological information.
