Towards the creation of an Open Source HBIM tool for planning diagnostic and restoration activities: the example of the Troia Cathedral rose window

The aim of this work is to set up an HBIM (Heritage Building Information Model) system to facilitate the planning of diagnostic and restoration activities by bringing all archive information into a digital platform, accompanied by three-dimensional models that can be consulted and examined. Frequently, in case of ancient buildings, reconstruct the complete history of the property is not possible, due to a lack of accessible sources. The creation of the HBIM digital tool for consulting the architectural artefact and related information was only the last phase of this work, which began with: (i) Acquisition of archive sources in order to reconstruct the history of the restoration and renovation work on the monument; (ii) Acquisition of information about the diagnostic analyses previously carried out on the monument; (iii) acquisition of data useful for the creation of a digital twin

Late Quaternary evolution of the Metaponto coastal plain, southern Italy, inferred from geomorphological and borehole data.

A multidisciplinary study of a sector of the Ionian coastal belt, southern Italy, mainly based on two new bore- holes approximately 25 m (MSA) and 20 m (MSB) deep, was carried out in the frame of a wider geo- archaeological project. Stratigraphic and Paleoecological data, together with geomorphological observations, have been used in order to define the Late Quaternary morpho-sedimentary evolution and its relationships with tectonic and climate forcing. The analyses of core sediments and geomorphic interpretations allowed us to reconstruct the changes in depositional setting and physical landscape starting from the MIS 5.5. To this scope, new data about sedimentary facies, benthic foraminifera and ostracod assemblages, and a set of 14C ages spanning from about 33 to 15 kyr BP are here presented. All these data revealed a strong modification of the depositional setting within the coastal plain, as inferred by the presence of marine, transitional, and continental deposits, and suggest an anomalous position of sea-level reference points. Such anomalies are clustered in two homogenous arrays that can be explained only admitting a significant tectonic uplift in recent times (i.e. about 4 mm/yr over the last 15,000 years)
