The “Amiternum Project” on Archaeological Site Valorisation

In 2020 the University of L’Aquila bought the archaeological site of Amiternum, near the city of L’Aquila, where a series of excavations have been carried out from 2012. Through the so called “Amiternum Project”, the aim of the University is to create an international archaeological school-camp, and develop research activities for an adequate conservation, protection and valorisation of the site. The paper presents the first activities of an interdisciplinary research group of L’Aquila University—composed by archaeologists, historians, heritage scholars, ICT researchers—focused on the study of methodologies and tools for site interpretation, presentation, and narration, in particular through the use of digital approaches.
