Poster Session: The contribution of UAV platforms to reconstruct the Romano-Byzantine Kastro of Gortyn (Crete)

Gortyn is one of the largest metropolis of the Mediterranean area, inhabited from the Prehistoric toMedieval time. The archaeological mission of Sapienza, University of Rome, tries to understand thetopographical and urbanistic contents through UAVs. Aim of this proposal is to edit a detailed plan of thesite in order to create the most accurate archaeological map of the site. The focus of this project is in theacropolis area: the Kastro, a Roman building with multiple reuses along the centuries (III-VII A.D.). For thefirst time, an updated aerophotogrammetric documentation and reconstruction of the monument,realised with UAVs and topographical instruments (TS, DGPS and Laser Scanner), is here presented. Thefuture goal is to create a GIS map of all the city and its territory
