Hypogean Archaeology is the result of an activity, carried out through the development of original criteria where multiple aspects of other disciplines converge. This multidiscipline is based on underground permanence in man-made structures and on the ability to gather analytical data from the structure. The next step is the processing of such data. At this point, other aspects of the study such as architecture, geology, geomorphology, topography etc., contribute to our understanding of the structure in question.

The research and study of artificial cavities is not incidental and is not the by-product of surface investigations or stratigraphic excavations. Just like classic speleology, Hypogean Archaeology has developed its own methodology. Without confusing the matter in abstractionism or particulars, it must be understood that this is also archaeology as the study relates to man-made structures.
However, the aspects of data collection, graphic return, documentation, analysis and synthesis differ. The undertaking of this type research essentially entails the “documenting the underground” HYPOGEAN ARCHAEOLOGY: RESEARCH, STUDY AND CATALOGUING OF ARTIFICIAL CAVITIES
