Abstract
In the Northwestern Peru, near the city of Trujillo, an Italian Archaeological Mission (MIPE), in close collaboration with the INC (National Institute of Culture of Peru) is working on the site of Chan-Chan that is the widest archaeological complex in the world for the constructions in raw earth. The mission is carrying out a multidisciplinary survey with the aim of studying a methodology for the site maintenance and the creation of a local center of documentation. According to this wider project, the research goal here achieved and explained is based on a QUICKBIRD high resolution image analysis. Applying some image classification techniques it is possible to investigate the whole archaeological site, with the aim of a better definition of its general features and of a contribution to the exploitation of the surroundings.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
