The potential of high-resolution QuickBird satellite imagery for archaeological investigations is assessed in the well documented site of Monteserico Village in the Southern Italy. The considered test site presents complex topographical and morphological features, typical of many medieval settlements, which make archaeological prospection with any remote sensing technologies difficult. Results from our investigations showed that the QuickBird fused products can be a valuable data source for reconstructing the urban shape of buried settlements up to single building scale.

Abstract
The potential of high-resolution QuickBird satellite imagery for archaeological investigations is assessed in the well documented site of Monteserico Village in the Southern Italy. The considered test site presents complex topographical and morphological features, typical of many medieval settlements, which make archaeological prospection with any remote sensing technologies difficult. Results from our investigations showed that the QuickBird fused products can be a valuable data source for reconstructing the urban shape of buried settlements up to single building scale.File in questo prodotto:
