ABSTRACT

One focuses attention on the formative and transformative processuality of urban areas and landscapes

affected byarcheological findings that connote important historical stratification. Particular attention isgiven

to those centers where it is not possible to indicate continuity solutions, for which it is complicated to carry

out excavations that facilitate a stratigraphical reading, hence the need to put into place a methodology for

non-destructive reading. The context considered is the Messapiian landscape, with the case of Oria along the

Appian Way, along the Taranto-Brindisi axis – a paradigmatic example of organisms with a strong

archaeologicalvocation.

The analysis carried out through meticulous research of published and unpublished sources, direct

observations in the field, and interpretation of all collected data is finalized into a synthesis which is able to

collect and understand the particularities to be safeguarded. Through the study of several examples, such as

the formation of routes, the construction of fortifications, readings of different scales, and with a

multidisciplinary look, one intends to reach the elaboration of guidelines useful to identify shared strategies

of conservation and valorization of historic centers, characterized by high stratigraphic presence, where the
