Il progetto RAPTOR, acronimo di Ricerca Archivi e Pratiche per la Tutela Operativa Regionale, nasce dall’idea di avere a disposizione un sistema informativo versatile che consenta di rispondere alle diverse esigenze quotidiane dei funzionari archeologi della Soprintendenza, gestendo in una struttura unitaria ed integrata la parte burocratica e quella topografica; tale aspetto è infatti imprescindibile, soprattutto per la tutela del patrimonio archeologico, in qualità di ricaduta tangibile del procedimento amministrativo nella realtà territoriale.
This contribute aims to provide new insight on the production and circulation of full-figure architectural terracotta images adorning temples, namely fictiles, in northern Etruria. The investigation focuses on the recent discovering of a relevant corpus of architectural terracottas in Populonia, emerged during the excavation in La Casaccia locality, on the eastern slopes of Poggio del Castello (Baratti, Livorno, Tuscany). The review of the typological study and the archaeometric analysis on a selection of representative antefixes and relief plaques disclosed a complex scenario revealing the presence of both local and imported fictiles. Future and already planned investigations of architectural terracottas from Volterra promise to enlarge the frame on the circulation of imported fictiles from the nearby Campanian areas, redrawing the dual interpretation of mobility of goods vs mobility of men for decorating public buildings in northern Etruria.

Il progetto “pyArchInit – python per l’archeologia” nasce nel 2005 con lo scopo di realizzare un plugin in python per il software openSource Qgis, finalizzato alla gestione su piattaforma GIS dei dati provenienti da contesti archeologici. L’obiettivo principale è quello di ottenere un’applicazione fruibile dall’archeologo nei suoi principali ambienti di lavoro preferiti, ovvero sul campo e in laboratorio, con una integrazione immediata verso i sistemi di gestione del territorio utilizzati dalle pubbliche amministrazioni.
