Abstract

Thanks to the analysis of some recent satellite images, within a CNR-ISPC research project aimed at the realization of a Historical Aerotopographic Atlas of the ancient city of Albania, it is possible to present a preliminary study of two important ancient cities of Albania, Apollonia and Phoenike, aimed at enhancing some aspects of urban topography. In particular, historical space photos and recent satellite images were particularly useful for identifying traces likely to refer to buried buildings or parts of buildings, in sectors of archaeological areas where archaeological excavations have not yet been conducted.
