A methodology matrix for integrated exploitation of archaeological sites: the experience of Meleager house in Pompeii

The contribution arises from research experience we are carrying out in one of the most famous and significant archeological site of the world: the Pompei site. The research (its acronym is FARO of University of Naples) referring to the “Accessible archeology: strategies for a widened use of the sites of cultural interest”. The aim is to analyse, in particular, the via di Mercurio and its domus and also to deepen the experimentation of methodological models for defining solutions and to carry out interventions. The applied research that has been developed for the Casa di Meleagro, is based on the consideration of the different aspects in a multidisciplinary perspective. We have individuated the morphological critical points and the conditions of conservation of the old material. Moreover a recognition of the more interesting and possible path of the tour inside the domus has been done. The integration of these different parameters has allowed us to individuate solutions and, then, specific interventions that have been verified in referring to specific situations. The research shows us the strong inter-relationship between the conservative conditions and the ones linked to the use. Moreover, it is primarily significant the integration of knowledge and the current instances of the project linked very strongly to the recognition, perception and interpretation of the site and its values.
