A New Palaeolithic Burial From Grotta Del Romito (Calabria, Italy). A Digital Restitution

Abstract

Abstract: The latest research carried out in Grotta del Romito, a Palaeolithic site located in northern Calabria, has brought to light a new Palaeolithic burial (Romito 9). The complexity of this archaeological evidence, also affected by a disturbance to the burial pit that altered the deposition’s context ab antiquo, has required a suitable strategy of excavation and documentation for the funerary context in order to read the taphonomic and post-depositional processes. The creation of a visual model representing the funerary evidence in a CAD environment has led to the virtual reproduction of the original archaeological context. This model, based on the processing of a very detailed graphic and photogrammetric documentation and linked to a database, provided an effective support to the interpretations and has allowed us to better investigate the deposition context and the subsequent events connected to the breach of the burial.
