Document Details : Title: The Potenza Valley Survey Subtitle: Preliminary Report on Field Campaign 2003 Author(s): VERMEULEN, Frank , MONSIEUR, Patrick , BOULLART, Catharina , VERREYKE, Hélène , VERHOEVEN, Geert , DE DAPPER, Morgan , GOETHALS, Tanja , GOOSSENS, Rudy , DE VLIEGHER, Beata-Maria Journal: BABESCH Volume: 80 Date: 2005 Pages: 33-64 DOI: 10.2143/BAB.80.0.630017 Abstract : This contribution presents the fourth report about the on-going survey project of Ghent University in the Adriatic valley of the River Potenza (Marches, Italy). The project investigates the settlement history of the valley, essentially between 1000 BC and AD 1000. In 2003 substantial results in the middle and lower valley have been obtained with the help of remote sensing techniques, while the field surveys, geo-archaeological operations and study of surface finds have focussed on the protohistoric and Roman occupation of the coastal area. Quite spectacular were survey results on and around three Roman towns in the valley, contributing to the topographical knowledge of urbanisation in this part of Italy. |
