This paper focuses on the intra-site analysis of two case studies from the area of Sesto Fiorentino (Florence): S. Antonio and Bulimacco Cilea. The sites, constituted by complex stratigraphies, are located in an alluvial plain affected by severe erosion/ accumulation processes. The two settlement areas are both positioned inside palaeoriverbeds but are characterised by some chronological and structural differences. The study concerns the analysis, performed through the CAD and GIS applications, of the distribution of archaeological materials compared with the morphological settings and palaeoriverbed characteristics. Visual analysis, spatial analysis and 3D reconstruction of micro morphologies and structures help us to test interpretations and hypotheses as well as to identify possible ‘latent structures’.

Abstract
This paper focuses on the intra-site analysis of two case studies from the area of Sesto Fiorentino (Florence): S. Antonio and Bulimacco Cilea. The sites, constituted by complex stratigraphies, are located in an alluvial plain affected by severe erosion/ accumulation processes. The two settlement areas are both positioned inside palaeoriverbeds but are characterised by some chronological and structural differences. The study concerns the analysis, performed through the CAD and GIS applications, of the distribution of archaeological materials compared with the morphological settings and palaeoriverbed characteristics. Visual analysis, spatial analysis and 3D reconstruction of micro morphologies and structures help us to test interpretations and hypotheses as well as to identify possible 'latent structures'.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
