A preliminary tool for the identification of palaeoforms and forms attributable to archaeological emergencies in environmental context with high hydrogeological risk is proposed; in particular the study area represents one of the most characteristic phases of the Average Bronze Age (2000-1550 B.C.) in the Po fluvial plain: the “terramaricola” culture. The historical reconstruction and the geomorphological structure analysis took place using a methodological approach based on the analysis of optical and radar satellite data, in order to better understand the landscape forms and development. The methods utilized are photointerpretation and image processing of satellite data, with the aim of promoting the preservation and protection of cultural, historical and archaeological heritage. This methodological approach allows to produce useful data from a geo-archaeological reconstruction of the study area, which can assist the most traditional methods of research, such as archival documentation and cartography (historical and archaeological map). Moreover, the possibility to favor the communication with the public administrations to assist the land management in environmental monitoring and prevention of geological risk is added to the scientific interest. © The Authors.
