History, importance and applications of the stratigraphic method

Abstract

After for over ten years of experimentations into architecture studies carried out by a tool settled in archaeological research, in Italy we draw up a balance dual we determine new outlines of research that apply at differented disciplinary limits. Nevertheless we have to insist because the connection between archaeologist and architect engaged in the restoration field, tend towards a more strict collaboration. In the best situations the research is getting on, but we should make didactically comprehensible the principles and the capacity of the tools, so that it might be used by many operators, because the architectural heritage, either monumental one or a simple dwelling, it is like an enormous recorder that records a large amount of data. Those data must be understood by the operators, with an easy and useful tool, if we don't want lose the amount of remark and will change them into progress of knowledge.
