ARCHEOLOGIA DEI PAESAGGI DELLA PUGLIA ADRIATICA IN ETÀ ROMANA – IL CASO DI EGNAZIA, PRIMI RISULTATI DI INDAGINI SULLA FORMA ARCHITETTONICA DELL’AREA RESIDENZIALE

the FIRB program, "Future in Research 2012" by the Ministry of Education, is started a line of study that combines specific archeological studies and study from the morpho-typological point of view, for the excavation data. This studies are carried out by the Research Unit of the Polytechnic of Bari. this interesting experience was made possible on the basis of cognitive interventions and stratigraphic excavations that are taking place for many years on the site of Egnatia by the University of Bari Aldo Moro, and the spin-off Al.T.A.I.R. conduct by Professor Raffaella Cassano. The study of the archeological urban texture with the instruments of the analysis and interpretation of morphology and type is needed especially in the residential area of the city of Egnatia, excavated in the second decade of the twentieth century by the Superintendent Quirino Quagliati. Unfortunately, about these excavations, have been lost the documentations and the finds, not archived at the time and largely dispersed, are not useful for dating the emerging structures. The study of the Research Unit of the University of Bari goes to the interpretation of the urban form. The purpose of the study is to determine the changes that this portion of the city has suffered over the time and to understand the topographical condition and urban layout in the Roman age.
