    Abstract
    We present the analysis of multi-faceted, GIS managed data for determining the archaeological potential, i.e. a measure of the possibility that a more or less significant archaeological stratification is preserved. We used a sizable number of datasets, in order to consider the problem of estimation of archaeological potential in all of its aspects: archaeological data, building archaeological data, historical data, toponymic data, geomorphological data. As the identification of relations among finds is a key issue for the data mining in archaeological interpretation process, we applied a modified version of the PageRank model, because the criteria for assigning importance to web pages by search engines are similar and based on relations, also. The procedure included a categorization archaeological data, the assignment of initial values of potential to the available data through an automatic procedure, the creation of geomorpho-logical facies maps, the definition of functional areas (i.e. the levels of spatial and functional organization: urban, suburban and rural areas), and the application of the PageRank based algorithm. The model has been applied on the urban area of Pisa, and tested through the data of 14 new cores. The map of archaeological potential consists of the composition of the 7 layers, one for each archaeological period under consideration: Protohistory, Etruscan period, Roman period, Late Roman period, Early Medieval period, Late Medieval period, Modern Age, Contemporary Age. The results, including the archaeological potential map, are to be considered as the first steps towards an automatic, formally definable, and repeatable, approach to the computation of archaeological potential.
