Mass movements affecting Goddess Mefitis sanctuary in Rossano di Vaglio (Basilicata, southern Italy)

The paper describes the results of the geomorphological and stability studies carried out in the archaeological site of Rossano di Vaglio (Basilicata, Southern Italy), where an important sanctuary was built during the 4th Century B.C. This study is based on geomorphological surveys and is integrated by accurate interpretations of aerial photos, and of high-resolution geophysical surveys and stability analyses. A description of the stability condition of the archeological site with reference to the landslide on which the sacred complex was built is provided in this work.
