Living in a Palaeoriverbed: Intra-site Analysis of Two Prehistoric Sites in the Florentine Alluvial Plain

Bulimacco Cilea. The sites, constituted by complex stratigraphies, are located in an alluvial plain affected by severe erosion/ accumulation processes. The two settlement areas are both positioned inside palaeoriverbeds but are characterised by some chronological and structural differences. The study concerns the analysis, performed through the CAD and GIS applications, of the distribution of archaeological materials compared with the morphological settings and palaeoriverbed characteristics. Visual analysis, spatial analysis and 3D reconstruction of micro morphologies and structures help us to test interpretations and hypotheses as well as to identify possible 'latent structures'. © Archaeopress and the individual authors 2016.
