Archaeology Meets History, Memory, and Technology
Archaeology Meets History, Memory, and Technology
To explore the traces of recent history across Apulia’s landscapes, we combine tools from archaeology, history, and the social sciences. This integrated approach allows us to read both visible and hidden layers of the territory—connecting material remains with memories, documents, and communities.

Archaeological surveys, excavations, and mapping
Archaeological surveys, excavations, and mapping
We document the material traces left behind in marginal landscapes—foundations, walls, objects, and ground markings.
Mapping and drone surveys help us reconstruct these sites even when only ruins remain.
At Camp 65, stratigraphic excavations reveal layers of military, partisan, and refugee history.
Archival research and photo analysis
Archival research and photo analysis
Historical documents, aerial photos, and military maps are key to understanding how these landscapes evolved.
Historical images reveal shifts in land use, mobility, and infrastructure. Old photos and drawings are layered with current data to trace what’s visible—and what’s gone.
Oral history and storytelling
Oral history and storytelling
Memories help fill the gaps where the landscape is silent.
We collect stories from former POWs’ families, local farmers, migrants, and aid workers.
These voices give depth and emotion to places like Camp 65 and the ghettos of the Tavoliere.
Community-based research with local involvement
Community-based research with local involvement
We collaborate with local communities, historians, and descendants to rediscover and reinterpret these landscapes.
At Camp 65, a heritage community has formed around the memory of prisoners and partisans.
In Pantanella, witnesses help trace the transformation of the site from military infrastructure to forgotten ground.
Participation turns archaeology into a shared journey of memory and identity.
