This article presents the results of a digital reconstruction of Hut 1 from the Bronze Age site of Posta Rivolta (Foggia), conducted as part of an ongoing doctoral research project. The study employs an integrated methodology combining archaeological data, three-dimensional modelling, and structural simulations to propose a scientifically grounded and verifiable architectural hypothesis. The focus is on the analysis of the wooden framework, developed through comparison with the site of Nola-Croce del Papa and adapted to local archaeological markers. The validity of the hypothesis was tested through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations to assess the aerodynamic response of the structure to environmental stresses. Additionally, volumetric calculations of the timber used were performed, with particular attention to the functional distribution of the perimeter posts. The results highlight a coherent and intentional design, compatible with structural and environmental requirements, laying the groundwork for further research and valorisation efforts.

This study describes the most important archaeological finds of the western part of the XIII municipality, dating back from the prehistoric age to the Roman empire. Thanks to the work of surveys and supervision of Soprintendenza Speciale per i Beni Archeologici di Roma (SSBAR), several protection procedures (like Castel di Guido, Polledrara di Cecanibbio, Cava Esi, Cava Mapi) have been already started. The gradual data capture of all the archaeological finds in the SITAR database is essential for an exhaustive knowledge of the territory in order to organize the conservation activity. At present, the data entry concerns all the findings since 1997 up to the present day; the sites analyzed are streets that testify the presence of the ancient Via Cornelia and Via Aurelia and other secondary roads, aqueducts (Aqua Alsietina), graves and villas of the Roman period. The SITAR system offers the possibility to analyze this data not only from a historic-archaeological point of view, with the study of the ancient settlement’s distribution and evolution, but especially with regards to the modern landscape’s transformation, becoming pivotal areas that the authorities should take into consideration for their conservation.
