Navalia civili e commerciali della Pisa romana. Spazi, movimenti e relazioni all’interno di un cantiere sul fiume Auser

The archaeological investigations related to the “Pisa Progetto Suburbio” at the Scheibler Area in Pisa allowed to discover infrastructures, such as stabilization works, slipways, navalia, dating back between the Augustan age and the first half of the 1st century A.D. along the southern bank of the ancient Auser river. Researches on building yard archaeological evidences, along with the analysis of construction techniques and the procurement of materials, highlighted the work activities’ sequence and the social relationships within the building yard itself. The elaboration of a three-dimensional simulation of the investigated structures, based on criteria of transparency, also played a crucial role in spaces’ functional analysis, offering the opportunity to understand the physical and sensorial impact of the complex on the surrounding landscape and on the ancient river-goers.
