Herdonia 3.0. Strategies for Knowledge and Documentation of an Archaeological Area 
Abstract
The paper traces the various phases of research on the survey and representation of the archaeological area of Herdonia, which was known as a Roman municipium in the Republican age and lived its greatest splendour in the Augustan age. The use of increasingly up-to-date technologies and software, and the application of survey methodologies and representation techniques adapted to the different aims that the state of research gradually set, has resulted in the digitalization of a large part of the remains of the monuments that are currently visible, with a view to implementing what is now considered an indispensable stage of documentation for the knowledge and protection of the cultural heritage. The aim is to show the degree of complexity in the production of such documentation, both digital and up-to-date, in a site that has been very well studied in archaeological terms in past, but which suffers from the lack of recognition as an archaeological park.
