ANTIQUITY IN USE IN URBAN CONTEXTS - PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS FOR URBAN ARCHAEOLOGY

Summary/Abstract: What do modern cities developed upon ancient urban structures owe to the latter in terms of physical configuration? – This is the question my study begins with. It surely does not end with a straight answer, but it provides a preliminary methodology useful for deepening the study. In order to pave the way for the proper investigation of this vast subject, my project sets out to provide a preliminary classification and selection of case studies, creating the framework for a monograph on the integration and use of antique structures in modern urban settings. This type of synthesis is lacking yet. A secondary objective is to offer the methodological instruments to discover (and document) ancient structures hidden within modern cities – i.e., where indeed they are most likely to be found.
