Assessing the damage of an archaeological site: New contributions from the combination of image-based 3D modelling techniques and GIS

- 3D GIS as an exploratory environment for data analysis is put to the test.
- A new method for measuring the damage occurred in an archaeological site is introduced.
- Image-based 3D modelling techniques and GIS tools are combined together.
- Vector and raster-based analysis is employed to evaluate the degree of erosion affecting some archaeological layers.
- The proposed method can improve the strategies of land evaluation and risk assessment.
