Scavo e scuola a Tarquinia. Internazionalizzazione e formazione a difesa della fragilità di un sito UNESCO

Interdisciplinary research at the Etruscan Necropolises of Cerveteri and Tarquinia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2004, reveals significant geomorphological threats to the ancient city's buffer zone. The study highlights how continuous, systematic research—spanning nearly four decades—combines advanced topographic techniques (LiDAR, GIS, geophysical prospections) with archaeological investigations to map the site's integration into modern urban planning. Findings underscore the dual fragility of the site: vulnerability to natural phenomena and the risk of research abandonment due to legal-administrative constraints. The research advocates for sustainable agricultural development that preserves the metropolis's vast, yet largely unexplored, buried archaeological potential while adhering to UNESCO safeguard rules for archaeological, environmental, and landscape protection.
