The ‘Archaeological Map of Lilybaeum’

The ‘Archaeological Map of Lilybaeum’ is the result of the long-standing scientific cooperation in Marsala between Palermo and Hamburg Universities. This paper investigates the various methods of field research used to gather the necessary data for the archaeological map of ancient Lilybaeum. There will be a particular focus on the topographic survey and photogrammetric aerial survey by Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) conducted in the years 2017–2019. The aim of the work is to highlight the impact of the results on already existing research hypotheses and the ways in which the resulting map enhances our knowledge of the ancient city of Lilybaeum.
