Abstract :
The Potenza Valley Survey project, is an prospective project searching archaeological remains through aerial photography. The project's survey area is the ca. 80 km long valley of the river Potenza in Adriatic Central-Italy (Marche). The program focuses on Late Antiquity (3rd-7th century). Nevertheless the original aim to measure long term evolutions and changes between 1000 BC and 1000 AD is generally sustained. As this allows to contextualize the Late Antique period. Other periods are not ignored either, as archaeology is about the whole period of human settlement. This report gives the results of the 2001 field campaign.
