Study of archaeological areas by means of advanced software technology and statistical methods

The aim of this work is to show how the most advanced technology together with spatial analysis can be usefully employed to investigate historical and archaeological phenomena. In this note some preliminary results are shown. Two geographical information systems (GIS) were structured in an integrated way. The first GIS is a vector-like system while the other is a raster-like one. Moreover, some applications regarding the environmental reconstruction of a part of the investigated area are proposed. Then the identification and the modeling of archaeological site maps by means of point pattern analysis are proposed. Finally, an auto-logistic model to predict archaeological site is presented. This topic is currently under investigation.
