Notes

"Geoarchaeology and palaeoDEMs modelling to assess the archaeological potential of Ravenna and its hinterland" is a multidisciplinary and diachronic PhD project whose aim was to reconstruct the physical evolution of the landscape around Ravenna (Italy) from the Bronze Age until today and how this influenced human occupation in the area. The PhD project was carried out by Michele Abballe at Ghent University/University of Verona, under the supervision of Frank Vermeulen (Ghent University), and the co-supervision of Fabio Saggioro (University of Verona), Devi Taelman (Ghent University) and Jeroen Verhegge (Ghent University). The PhD project was funded by the Bijzonder Onderzoeksfonds UGent (BOF) under Grant number BOF.FJD.2017.0002.01 and supported by three Grants for long stays abroad by the Research Foundation Flanders (FWO) under Grant numbers V421419N, V430720N, and V409421N. This is one of the datasets produced within Michele Abballe's PhD project "Geoarchaeology and palaeoDEMs modelling to assess the archaeological potential of Ravenna and its hinterland".
