Abstract
This paper presents the results of a preliminary survey in a central urban area of Rome, Italy. The results were obtained from both desktop and remote sensing surveys. The Aventinus Minor Project (AMP) is a community archaeological excavation project focusing on an understudied area in Rome with limited modern archaeological excavation: the Aventinus Minor or Little Aventine. The remote sensing (RS) anomalies revealed by the survey illustrate that this area is potentially rich in buried structures potentially correlated with ancient visible remains (i.e., the Servian Walls and Santa Balbina church). The application of RS approaches (such as NDVI, VARI, and GPR) and the creation of a GIS platform lays the foundations for a correct and georeferenced reporting of all collected data, providing a nuanced understanding of the urban archaeology in the dense topography of Rome.

The application of remote sensing (RS) approaches and the creation of a Geographical Information System (GIS) platform lays the foundations for a correct and georeferenced reporting of all collected data, providing a nuanced understanding of the urban archaeology in the dense topography of Rome
The aim of this paper is to present the preliminary results collected in a central area of Rome, Italy: the Aventinus Minor or Little Aventine (Figure 1a)
Remote sensing was a very important resource in the design of the Aventinus Minor. As it offered the possibility of assessing the archaeological potential of a central, though under investigated, area of Rome in a timely manner
