Research Fellow (Engineering; Environmental sciences; History, heritage and archaeology)

Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK

https://mariacarmelamonteleone.academia.edu/ Miss Monteleone is a professional civil engineer who has since 2002 developed interest and research in historical water systems, including Roman and Ottoman water supply technologies. She provides the engineering interpretation of the remains of water structures, and through hydraulic analysis discusses the operation of single and inter-connected structures; in the last years she collaborated with Prof. Crapper and Dr. Motta of Northumbria University, to shape new methodologies for 'archaeo-water- engineering'; she is setting up collaborative projects with other scholars to further investigate, in a more quantitative way, water management in ancient Roman towns, and especially in Pompeii.
