Abstract
Melka Kunture (Ethiopia) represents one of the most important Palaeolithic archaeological site of the African world. To protect and to safeguard this cultural heritage, advanced technologies such as the satellite photogrammetry and the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have been applied. The use of IKONOS II stereoscopic images and ground control points from a DGPS survey allowed the creation of the new topographic-archaeological map of Melka Kunture at a scale of 1:10,000. This map will constitute an useful tool for the preservation of several archaeological sites spread over a 100km² area. Moreover, thanks to the creation of full threedimensional data, spatial analyses on archaeological and palaeo-environmental data in respect with palaeo-geography have been executed.
