Abstract
The paper presents some of the surveying experiences, mainly at territorial scale, performed by the authors at the site of Tilmen Höyük, in collaboration with archaeologists and researchers from other fields. Satellite imagery, multi-scale digital Photogrammetry and Space Geodesy, integrated together, allowed a modern approach to the representation of the archaeological area and the surrounding territory and to record, manage and share all the acquired data in a single well-established reference system. All this information represents a shared dataset useful in a multi-disciplinary perspective for different applications and communities.
