Abstract
The results of this experience thus show the potential of using images as a considerably effective instrument for the study, analysis and reconstruction of ancient contexts. The process, which by a great leap of scale leads from the object to the territory, makes it possible to illustrate effectively the whole expressive universe of the various ancient civilisations of Iraq, describing their essential features. Furthermore, research activities aimed at contextualization have made it possible to acquire new knowledge of the objects, the monuments and the urban and territorial contexts, in turn making it possible to reconstruct the ancient layout of the archaeological monuments and the historical landscapes.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
