Built environment in Satricum Tracing technology and Archaic society using Remote Sensing tools

The aim of this paper is to bring forward new geospatial and remote sensing methods that are available for archaeological research, but have been only rarely applied to the research on Archaic cities and their landscapes in the Latium Vetus. We will focus chiefly on the recently available LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging-Airborne laser scanner) data and its combination with other tools as Low Altitude UAS Photogrammetry (LAUP) and historical aerial imagery. We rely on the capabilities of remote sensing methods to enhance the understanding of known sites and the social use of the ancient landscape. One of the main points we want to raise is the possibility of applying these techniques to generate insights on ancient technology, manmade interventions in the landscape, and the social implications beyond the construction of site features (walls, trenches, urbanism) and the appropriation of landscape.
