New softwares developed in recent times suggest new trends in computer applications supporting the organization of the archaeological record. Archaeological stratigraphy is one of the best frames for the knowledge of the past and many attempts have been made to control each value recognized on the field (excavations, geognostic research) both in urban sites and in the landscape.
With the help of softwares used in geology it is possible now to relate stratigraphical data to build predictive maps for the managment and preservation of archaeological heritage. Other software used for a three-dimensional visualization can add information of architectural elements to integrate the reconstruction of stratigraphy. With the support of GIS and statistical softwares we can complete the path toward the analysis of archaeological content.
