- Abstract:
- This paper examines the application of high-resolution satellite remote sensing and vegetation index analysis for the non-invasive investigation of the Villa of Sette Bassi, a major Roman archaeological site located on the outskirts of Rome. Utilizing Pléiades Neo satellite data and a suite of eleven vegetation indices, the study identifies subsurface anomalies indicative of buried architectural features. The methodological framework integrates rigorous image preprocessing, index derivation, and correlation with geophysical and historical datasets. The findings underscore the efficacy of select indices in complex Mediterranean landscapes. This work advances the methodological discourse in archaeological remote sensing, offering a scalable and replicable protocol for cultural heritage monitoring and landscape archaeology.
