Abstract
The NuragAI project aims at using an AI approach for image analysis of satellite imagery, in order to identify the nuraghi monuments (typical monuments of the Sardinia region, Italy, lasting from 1.8 to 0.7 ky BC), exploring the landscape and attempting a systematic survey of the Sardinia island. At the moment, a preliminary training has been performed, with an exceptionally positive result, and an earlier experiment of use. The satisfactory results are leading the authors towards a systematic analysis of the satellite imagery of the whole region, in order to check new monuments and open new perspectives for the use of AI in archaeological research.
