Summary
- The area of the Hera sanctuary on the river Sele mouth, Capaccio (Salerno) was interested between 2014 and 2016 by a project of archaeological survey, finalized to the investigation of the sanctuary territorial context. The project interested a 3 km² area between the Sele river on the north side and the Gromola settlement (part of the Capaccio-Paestum municipality) on the south side. The survey was associated to the contextual realization of a Gis-based archaeological map, to record the archaeological data, also considering to use it for future researches in the area. .............................................................................................................................

- The survey was realized using a systematic investigation method, site-based, having as the minimum research core the Surface Units (UdS), corresponding to the territory cadastral parcels. Surface Units were investigated intensively, taking a distance of 5 meters between the members of the survey team. Inside of the Surface Units, particular concentration of artefacts (density 1-5 for m²) were identified as Topographic Units (UT). Territory units characterized by concentration of anthropic remains standing out in the landscape (artefacts density more than 5 for m², structural remains) were identified as SITES. Surveys were seasonally repeated, with different conditions of climate, soil use and visibility. Finds were recorded in real time through GPS system and specific data sheet.
