Verbano-Cusio-Ossola

Project: Verbano-Cusio-Ossola GIS
Site: Piedmont – Verbano-Cusio-Ossola
Project manager: Elisa Panero

One of the areas subject to survey by Centro Ricerche Archeologiche e Scavi di Torino using geographic information system in Italy is the Piedmont area that includes Verbano, Cusio and Ossola.

For a series of reasons (geomorphologic, historical context, etc...) the Verbano-Cusio-Ossola area is well suited to a historical reconstruction survey which integrates all the physical and mathematical scientific elements as well as the historical elements. The project involves the creation of a GIS and thus operates in two directions: the acquisition of a suitable topographical base and of a series of databases related thereto (that is, where the material data is correctly placed, geo-referenced, in the landscape).
