Archaeoseismological and geophysical surveys to study the 847 AD earthquake evidence in Central-Southern Italy

This study provides deeper insights on our knowledge of the 847 AD earthquake that struck a large area in Central-Southern Italy causing diffuse damages in northern Campania, Molise, and Latium. Through the integration of archaeoseismic observations, geological and geophysical surveys together with a critical review of historical written sources, it was possible to identify evidence of seismic effects on ancient Medieval buildings or structures uncovered during archaeological excavations.
