Figure 11. Slopegrid (a) and elevationgrid (b) are raster data
useful for further advanced spatial analyses: they will be
exploited to study water flow and aspests related to hills relief
of streets net.
The interesting and deeper work we desire to develop on
datasets at 1:100 scale and larger, is to choose geometric type
classes to assign to dataset features (point, lines, polygons), in
order to effectively connect existing relational database,
regarding archaeological data of digging documentation or the
analysis and the interpretation of collapsed walls. (D'Andria
1997, D'Andria 2003).
At the end of this first project phase, GIS managing shows that
a considerable range of utilities can be directed to favour and
strengthen Conservation and Valorization of archaeological site.
Such map can improve potentialities of more linked works
among different research branches; digital map also constitute
the basic tool for proper design of tourist routes crossing the
site, which will be probably set soon.
At the moment we are working on two types of spatial analyses
that probable will give a contribution to some investigation
sector of general researche on the site. The first one concerns
the study of spatial distribution of limestone trenches crossing
whole city areas, sometimes coming after contours and
sometimes approssimatively following streets net.
Trenches vectorial dataset, overlaying slopegrid, derived from
TIN, are the imput data to establish, through spatial anlysis, a
possible setting of water flow.
In a similar way, we expect that another application, using
streets vector dataset and elevationgrid, will be able to provide
some data about possible connection between roads width and
their directions (West-East climbing the hill, North-South
coming after contours).
