Abstract: The history of architecture, for more than two centuries, has tried to understand the buildings using written sources, reaching in this way an outstanding specialisation.The very most recent building archaeology is trying to make the built heritage itself speak about its history, even that of the construction site.The archaeological data (stratigraphic sequences, archaeological dating, materials and building techniques), put in dialogue with the archaeometric data (natural watches; characteristics, provenience and preciousness of the materials) and following the rules of the “cultura materiale” - material culture - (empirical way of doing apprehension and transmission), allow us to begin the study of the builders choices, their possibilities and their motivations (archaeological critic). At this point, the research makes a real qualitative and quantitative jump if we read again, with an archaeological eye, all the written data coming from tenders, public permissions, construction site computations and from the ancient estimations and appraisals.
