ABSTRACT
The application of an archaeoseismological methodology to architectural contexts raises a number of points for discussion, which are explored in this chapter through two case studies. The first of these demonstrates a procedure for identifying ancient seismic damage in a single building, namely the church of Santi Vittore e Corona in Feltre in north-east Italy, whilst the second proposes a methodology for archaeoseismological research into historical heritage at the landscape scale in the Mugello district, in the Tuscan Apennines. Based on the number of criteria applicable to a given structure, different degrees of probability can be calculated to suggest whether or not specific damage patterns were caused by seismic activity. Stratigraphic analysis was also accompanied by the compilation of a Harris Matrix ordered according to the construction phases and different activities.
