Maurizio Forte, William and Sue Gross Professor of Classical Studies, Art, Art History and Visual Studies, Duke University

This talk examines how advanced spatial technologies, such as artificial intelligence and
remote sensing, combined with archaeological excavations, are transforming the study and
interpretation of ancient urban environments. A decade-long study initiative conducted by
Duke University examined the evolution of urban space in Vulci (10th century BCE – 4th
century CE), concentrating specifically on the southern region of the plateau, from Etruscan
to Roman periods. This multidisciplinary approach redefines archaeological research and
offers significant frameworks for analyzing also contemporary urbanism.
