Historic urban centers have a very specific problem, with very large demands in relation to documenting their heritage elements. Not only for its typological diversity and extent, but also by the need to determine the interactions established between the different elements, especially the dialogue between the modern city and the historic towns. We present here the experience of the Roman circus of Tarragona, which occupies four hectares of the historic center of the city, where we have used the “Backpack”, the Mobile Mapping solution installed on a backpack from Leica-Geosystems. This system allows access -and therefore the documentation- of areas which are only accessible on foot, as well as underground and inside buildings

THE FLAVIAN OFFICINA LAPIDARIA TARRACONENSE: COLOUR AND TEXTURE IN THE SERVICE OF ROME2017 •
We present a reflection on the workshops charged with shaping the public image of Flavian Tarraco through its epigraphic monuments. For this purpose, we undertook a detailed analysis of the materials and media used to decorate the areas of representation of the Concilium Provinciae, established at the beginning of Vespasian's reign, contrasting them with the epigraphic production of the preceding periods. The study is compared to other archaeological relics from the same area.
XII International Forum Le Vie dei Mercanti: best practice in heritage conservation management
Redrawing Tarraco: combining architecture and archaeologyThe city of Tarragona houses an important architectural heritage mainly from its past as ‘Tarraco’, capital of the Roman province of Hispania Citerior, but also from its medieval and late 19thc history. The archaeological ensemble of Tarraco was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000, but although many efforts have been devoted by archaeologists and historians to unveil and understand the history and aspect of the Roman city, many aspects remain unknown. This is largely caused by the absence of a coherent body of historiographical material, which is today scattered across several institutions and, specially, the lack of precise and useful graphical representations of the remains and of the existing city that allows in-depth analysis and interpretations of future findings. In recent years, researchers from the Catalan Institute of Classical Archaeology (ICAC) and the Architecture School of the URV (ETSA) have teamed up to produce comprehensive, detailed graphic materials, including a new set of plans and sections of the old city, of the grandiose areas of representation of the Provincial capital, and of the hidden structures beneath the city’s surface. These have been executed with the latest technologies (fotogrammetry, laser scanning) but also with traditional methods (measurement, topography), on top of a mixture of existing materials (hand-drafted cartography from municipal master plans) and of historical and archaeological documentation.
