ABSTRACT

The city of Aquileia is an interesting field of study for the complexity of the issues arising from the

stratification of archaeological remains in a urbanized site. This presents a double potentiality, in the

development of the contemporary city as in the discovery and enjoyment of the ancient metropolis. The

relationship between the archaeological sites and the town is however of mutual limitation if interpreted as a

contrast between the living and the dead city, an extraordinary opportunity for urban archeology if

interpreted as the integration between research, conservation and society. But this has required an effort for

the organization of the knowledge and the foreseeing of the objectives, through a research aimed at verifying

the consistency, the characteristics and the state of preservation of the public estates in Aquileia. For this,

different files have been elaborated with the actual and historical cartograpy, the description of the areas, the

archaeological sites and the buildings owned by the state. All these informations have been georeferenced

and included into a GIS, through which it is possible to make queries on cartographic, cadastral and archival

data, as well as create thematic maps which can provide the basis for following researches and also be an

useful tool for the planning of interventions for the overall arrangement of the archaeological park, with
