About
Eugenio Di Valerio is a leading scholar in Mediterranean archaeology, with a specialized focus on the ancient necropoleis of Cyrene, Libya, and the application of remote sensing technologies for cultural heritage monitoring. His most cited work, "The main issues of the Cyrene necropolis and the use of remote sensing for monitoring in the case of the eastern necropolis" (2016, 11 citations), exemplifies his major contribution: integrating cutting-edge geospatial tools with traditional archaeological survey to address the immense challenges of protecting Cyrene’s vast, rock-cut funerary landscapes. Di Valerio’s research highlights how remote sensing can detect looting, erosion, and unauthorized construction in these hard-to-access sites, offering a scalable model for heritage management across the Mediterranean. His work has been instrumental in documenting the extraordinary rock-cut architecture that surrounds Cyrene, one of the most spectacular yet vulnerable necropoleis in the ancient world. By bridging field archaeology with conservation science, Di Valerio provides a vital framework for safeguarding irreplaceable cultural patrimony against modern threats.
