Abstract

The aim of this work is to provide a short overview on the most commonly digital technologies today available and used for historical landscape investigations as well as for archaeological and palaeo-environmental studies. One of the main advantage of these techniques is their capability to provide a huge amount of information in non invasive, non-destructive way, also protecting and preserving cultural heritage. The impact of digital technologies for archaeology regards researchers, professionals as well as end-users and enables us not only to improve knowledge and documentation, but also fruition and sustainable touristic exploitation as well as management and monitoring.
