Cover Story: This work shows data acquired by multitemporal and multispectral aerial surveys in the archaeological site of San Vincenzo al Volturno (Molise, Italy). The site is one of the most important medieval archaeological sites in the world. Thanks to the use of multispectral aerial photography at different times of the year, an area not accessible to archaeological excavation has been investigated. To avoid a redundancy of information, a method based on spectral and radiometric enhancement techniques, combined with a selective principal component analysis, was used for the identification of useful information. The combination of already published archaeological data and new remote sensing discoveries has allowed us to better define the situation of the abbey during the building phases of the 8th/9th century and 11th century.
