Spotlight on tech! 📡 We use #aerial #imagery to create orthophotos, crucial for understanding #excavation features & areas within Falerii Novi’s urban landscape. Digital GPS and GIS precisely document special find locations and monitor context changes on-site 📍

Spotlight on FNP #environmental #archaeology 🌿🌰 Enviro sampling is a key aspect of the project! Flotation is used to separate light organic materials like seeds from heavier residues, which are sorted to identify archaeological materials related to landscape & foodways 🔎
