Abstract

The research project is focused on an interdisciplinary program, aimed at the reconstruction of development and transformation dynamics of the ancient city Elaiussa Sebaste. Both historical and environmental facets are considered, in order to contribute to cultural heritage's preservation.
Research has hitherto unearthed huge sectors of the site, showing relevant monumental complexes, in public and sacred areas, necropolises, residential and productive quarters.
From 2012 on, archaeological, geological, paleobotanical research and restoration activities have been joined by underwater survey and excavation. The latter allowed to recognize a number of deposits, confirming the important role played by the city and its harbours within Mediterranean commercial routes from Roman Imperial to Byzantine age.
The program foresees:
- continuation and expansion of archaeological and paleo-environmental research in the harbours' areas, to better define their transformation process
- geomagnetic analysis on the promontory and the necropolises, in order to integrate our knowledge about plans of monumental complexes in unexcavated areas
- continuation and expansion of archaeological research in the urban area, along with restoration and restitution of monumental complexes, with particular attention todecorated floors
- updating of cartography, detailed topographical survey, 3d model elaboration
- enhancing of visitors' paths' planning and realization, according to a sustainable restoration of the buit landscape
- filing, graphical documentation, restoration and study of the archaeological finds
- updating of Territorial Informative System (GIS) and of digital archive
- development of an overall project on the 'world of the deads' as an interpretative model of the archaeological sites of Rough Cilicia
- survey aimed at tracing possible testimonies of occupation phases preceding the Hellenistic period
- underwater survey
