An ultra-high resolution map for the Valley of the Temples

A very high-resolution map, in two and three dimensions, of the Valley of the Temples archaeological park will soon be created: it will be possible thanks to the use of advanced multispectral instruments and two types of drone.

An agreement has been signed with Duke University, a leader in digital humanities and multidisciplinary research fields, which has made it possible to initiate research on the Valley of the Temples area in order to “investigate archaeological areas and geomorphological features that have not been visible to date with traditional tools; sophisticated verifications and investigations that will allow new research and probably also new excavations to be initiated,” according to Giuseppe Parello, director of the Park.
