A multidisciplinary approach to archaeological research in Sant'Arsenio (Salerno, Italy): New methodologies and consolidated practices for the knowledge of cultural heritage

The paper presents the data collected for the municipality of Sant'Arsenio through the use of new open source Remote Sensing and Earth Observation technologies and normal archaeological research techniques. Sentinel-2 data, Google tools and Italian Ministry of Environment resources have been very useful. Multispectral images, high-resolution satellite images and aerial photos were combined with information from historical and modern bibliography and field surveys to maximise information. The study allowed us to discover several areas of archaeological interest and provide their location to the municipality of Sant'Arsenio for their preservation, protection and enhancement.
