The influence of the geological–geomorphological setting on human settlements and historical urban development: the case study of Isernia (southern Italy)

The map is aimed at illustrating the relationships between landscape evolution and human occupation in the Isernia basin since the Middle Pleistocene. We carried out a detail scale geological–geomorphological investigation integrated with archaeological data. Overall data suggest enhanced landscape...
