We present some archaeological investigations carried out in Agrigento on Summer 2019, within the project entitled “The Valley after the ancients”. The aim is to reconstruct the post-antique phases of the Valley of the Temples, including the most recent history until the public opening of the cultural site. The digs have been carried out in some points selected in order to achieve the diachronic investigation. Following an interdisciplinary research, through the indirect sources as well as the archaeological ones, a careful review of the known data has been accompanied by the study of archive documents and especially of the old photographs, which portrayed the lost landscape of the Valley of the Temples.
Si presentano i risultati delle indagini archeologiche svolte ad Agrigento nell’estate 2019 nell’ambito del progetto “La Valle dopo gli antichi”. L’obiettivo è quello di ricostruire le fasi post-antiche della Valle dei Templi, compresa la storia più recente, fino all’apertura al pubblico del sito culturale. Gli scavi sono stati condotti in alcuni punti selezionati per il potenziale informativo utile all’indagine diacronica. Seguendo una linea dichiaratamente interdisciplinare, con largo uso di fonti indirette e archeologiche, ad un attento riesame dell’edito si è accompagnato lo studio dei documenti di archivio e soprattutto delle fotografie d’epoca che ritraggono il paesaggio perduto della Valle dei Templi.

Abstract
We present some archaeological investigations carried out in Agrigento on Summer 2019, within the project entitled “The Valley after the ancients”. The aim is to reconstruct the post-antique phases of the Valley of the Temples, including the most recent history until the public opening of the cultural site. The digs have been carried out in some points selected in order to achieve the diachronic investigation. Following an interdisciplinary research, through the indirect sources as well as the archaeological ones, a careful review of the known data has been accompanied by the study of archive documents and especially of the old photographs, which portrayed the lost landscape of the Valley of the Temples.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
