Il ruolo dell’archeologia in un Piano Paesaggistico Regionale. Il caso della Toscana

This paper arises from the experience of the participation of a group of archaeologists in the drafting of the Landscape Plan of the Tuscany Region in the years 2011-2015. In the light of the latest experience in the field of applied archaeological research (Landscape Plans) it can be said that the ordering of archaeological record and its dynamic processing can result in more extensive developments. The promotion of appropriate insights can be the starting point for cognitive pathways aimed at describing (even very complex) planning problems inherent in the history of individual and specific geographic areas. Historical and archaeological reconstruction therefore actively and directly contributes to the evaluation of the critical issues present in the different horizons, takes part in the process of building the disciplines of use and helps to better target the pursuit of quality objectives in future planning.
