La ricognizione archeologica di superficie

The theoretical approach underlying the research carried out in the Nonantolano falls within the framework of landscape archaeology, a discipline that is fundamentally embodied in the study of the relationships between anthropic and natural elements that have determined the characterization of ancient landscapes and interacted with them. This type of investigation is based on the spatial cataloguing of as much evidence as possible, from the single artifact to the most complex structures or the simple areal distribution of surface archaeological material; against this, the research identifies diachrony as the fundamental prerequisite for the perception of extremely complex anthropic developments.
