Layered Nature. Assessing and Monitoring the Environment for the Development of an Archaeological Park

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
An Integrated Approach for an Archaeological and Environmental Park in South-Eastern Turkey

Abstract

The case study of Tilmen Höyük is presented here to describe a combination of different integrated approaches. The site has been assessed from a climatic, topographical, pedological, hydrological, vegetational and vegetation management standpoint. This study provided a wealth of information that was used for acquiring a deeper understanding of the present environment, in view also of designing and planning the archaeological park. At the same time, remote monitoring was experimented in view of future applications and management protocols.

“Monitoring soil and ancient walls at Tilmen: the project” has been written by V. Fortunati (Ecosearch); “The fieldwork” by L. Berichillo; “Climate” by P. Rossi Pisa; “Soil and hydrology” by M. Bittelli; “Integration into a Geographical Information System” by M. Vignudelli; “Site management” by P. Rossi Pisa. The present text is an expanded version of Rossi Pisa et al. (2008).
