The archaeological laboratory of the University of Ferrara, which is in the first extra-urban stretch of the ancient via Appia at the so-called tomb of Geta, investigates a crucial area of passage between the ancient city of Rome and its cultivated territory. The area was connoted with a religious and mythical sense in antiquity, but, at the same time, it is still unknown from an archaeological po

The aim of the study is to describe a methodological approach to represent, interpret, model and manage pluristratified archaeological contexts.The proposed methodology envisages a digital workflow, a BIM-thinking strategy, which integrates geometric and texture data obtained from laser and photogrammetric scans with information about construction techniques and materials, archaeological reports a

In recent years, the exploit of 3D data use in Archaeology and the Cultural Heritage sector in general has caused an exponential multiplication of digital content that can be viewed on the web. Nevertheless, web platforms can display a concerning dualism: on one side some contents are over-represented with the same models uploaded dozens of times even inside the same platform; on the other, the in

This paper presents the integrated study of the funerary ara of Ofilius Ianuarius, discovered within the burial complex of Via Appia Antica 39, and explores its digital stratigraphic recontextualisation through two 3D semantic workflows. The research aims to evaluate the potential of stratigraphic 3D modelling as a tool for post-excavation analysis and transparent archaeological interpretation. St

Recent advances in generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) have rapidly transformed research and practice across the Cultural Heritage domain. While several studies have investigated AI applications in documentation, analysis and dissemination, a focused and critical assessment of generative AI within 3D virtual reconstruction workflows is still lacking. This paper presents a systematic review of

The intricate relationship between Cultural Heritage, Landscapes, Cultural Identities, and Local Communities requires a deeply interdisciplinary approach. By fostering a sense of place and community, Cultural Heritage strengthens social bonds, enhances well-being, and supports civic engagement. In fact, individual disciplines often struggle to establish a common framework. Thus, this study aims to

The increasing use of geophysical investigations for archaeological purposes is now provided also by Italian reforms about preventive archaeology. They allow not only the discovery or the spatial definition of possible buried archaeological evidence, but they are also able to define the state of preservation of ancient structures. The Bocca delle Menate archaeological site is in Comacchio village

In La Guajira, a semi-arid region in northern Colombia, groundwater constitutes the primary water reserve for Wayúu communities. However, its management is often reduced to technical metrics of depth and extraction, rendering invisible the territorial and embodied knowledges that sustain life. Drawing on Latin American feminist political ecology and the water–body–territory framework, this article

Caenorhabditis elegans naturally inhabits low-oxygen environments but is typically studied at 21% oxygen. We cultured adult C. elegans at 2.5%, 5%, and 21% oxygen during the fertile period, quantifying daily output of hatched larvae, unfertilized oocytes, and abnormal progeny (unhatched embryos, dead or deformed larvae). While we found no evidence for increased fertility at low oxygen levels co

IntroductionA brain raspberry is a microvascular formation of yet insufficiently known origin and significance, defined histologically as three or more transversally sectioned vascular lumen surrounded by a common perivascular space. Previous reports on the prevalence of this structure have been based mainly on histopathological routine staining with haematoxylin-eosin (HE). The aim of this study
