Subsidence
• Natural: soft sediments (few mm/y)• Anthropic: ground water overexploitation (up to cm/y)
• Increased risk of inundation• Building damages

The cross-disciplinary integration of the variousdatasets enables to:
- Identify an organic silty layer ca. 2-4 m thick, with very poor mechanical
properties, related to a closed low-energyenvironment, such as a sheltered harbour or a
dock;
- Sparse reworked bricks fragments suggest anhistorical age;
- Reconstruct the isopachs of this layer

Conclusions
A multidisciplinary approach, involving data coming from both geology and
archaeology, can lead to a more accurate knowledge of an area, thus allowing to
understand present-day natural and anthropic dynamics and to better plan
future urban development.
