Morgantina is an archaeological site in east central Sicily. The closest modern town is Aidone, two kilometers southwest of the site. The site consists of a two-kilometer long ridge known as Serra Orlando, and a neighboring hill at the northeast called Cittadella. Morgantina was inhabited in several periods. The earliest major settlement was made at Cittadella and lasted from about 1000/900 to about 450 BCE. The other major settlement was located on Serra Orlando, and existed from about 450 BCE to about 50 CE. Morgantina has been the subject of archaeological investigation since the early 20th century.
The site was mapped using a Phantom 4 Pro drone. Photographs were processed in Reality Capture. Project was funded by the Hitz Foundation. Work initially completed by the GDH team when they were associated with the University of South Florida in 2017.
