Descrição
Resumo:This paper examines the contribution of Landscape Archaeology in the study of a broad area of the low Venetian plain which extends southwards from the city of Padua and is defined by Brenta and Adige fluvial systems. The research is based on an archaeo -morphological approach. By means of an integrated analysis of geomorphological, archaeological and historical data together with photographic and cartographic interpretation that takes advantage of the multiple possibilities offered by GIS, it seeks to further understand the complex relationship between mankind and the environment which was established in the area during the Roman period, and also to define the part which climatic changes played on its implementation.
