Abstract
	The data gathered during the excavation of the cemeteries of the Etruscan-campanian settlement of Pontecagnano (Salerno, Italy) has been stored in a GIS implemented using Mapinfo. In the paper we are going to present an interface developed in Mapbasic language (Mapinfo environment) for the analysis of the funerary contests. Through this solution, it is possible to manage some thematic maps (diachronic, typological, anthropological, etc.), to make interactive queries of the graves and of their grave-goods. Using a simple forms it is possible to visualize the spatial distribution of the tombs starting from topologic criteria. The results obtained with our utility can be viewed immediately on the map, also crossing data with different criteria. This permits to analyze not only the archaeological evidence digitized on the map, but also to explore and visualize multiple information stored in the graphic and alphanumeric archives.
