The paper discusses experiments with aerial and terrestrial methods of rapid mapping survey applied to an archaeological context, namely different UAV (Unmanned aerial vehicle) and 360° camera data acquisition and processing strategies. Archaeologists from the University of Pisa have investigated areas of the northern necropolis at Hierapolis (Turkey) since 2017, exploring the arrangement and use of Roman sarcophagi in their architectural context. Thanks to a full review of the archaeological and epigraphic evidence from Tomb 159c, and thanks to the high detailed 3D models and high-resolution orthophotos derived with geomatics techniques, it has been possible to reconstruct patterns and changes in ownership, use, and movement in a significant section of the necropolis across three centuries.

Abstract
The paper discusses experiments with aerial and terrestrial methods of rapid mapping survey applied to an archaeological context, namely different UAV (Unmanned aerial vehicle) and 360° camera data acquisition and processing strategies. Archaeologists from the University of Pisa have investigated areas of the northern necropolis at Hierapolis (Turkey) since 2017, exploring the arrangement and use of Roman sarcophagi in their architectural context. Thanks to a full review of the archaeological and epigraphic evidence from Tomb 159c, and thanks to the high detailed 3D models and high-resolution orthophotos derived with geomatics techniques, it has been possible to reconstruct patterns and changes in ownership, use, and movement in a significant section of the necropolis across three centuries.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
