Η χαρτογράφηση του αρχαιολογικού έργου στην περιοχή της Τηλλυρίας
Το άρθρο παρουσιάζει τη χαρτογράφηση των αρχαιολογικών θέσεων στην περιοχή της Τηλλυρίας, μια περιοχή με πλούσια ιστορία αλλά περιορισμένο αρχαιολογικό έργο. Στόχος της μελέτης ήταν η καταγραφή και χαρτογράφηση νεκροπόλεων, αρχαίων οικισμών και χώρων λατρείας, ανεξαρτήτως εποχής, μέσω αρχειακής έρευνας και χρήσης GIS. Η μελέτη ανέδειξε άγνωστες ή αδημοσίευτες θέσεις, διευκολύνοντας την ανάλυση του αρχαιολογικού τοπίου και την προστασία πολύτιμων πληροφοριών. Παρά τις δυσκολίες στον γεωγραφικό εντοπισμό και την ελλιπή τεκμηρίωση, η έρευνα αποτελεί σημαντικό βήμα για τη μελέτη και...
