Review

The title, "SEMI-AUTOMATIC CLASSIFICATION OF LANDFORMS AS A TOOL TO STRESS GEOARCHAEOLOGICAL ISSUES: AN EXAMPLE FROM THE METAPONTO COASTAL BELT, SOUTHERN ITALY," suggests a highly interdisciplinary and potentially innovative study. It proposes to leverage advanced geospatial techniques for landform classification to illuminate complex geoarchaeological questions, with a specific focus on a well-defined coastal region in Southern Italy. The concept of using semi-automatic methods for such an analysis hints at a valuable contribution to both methodology and applied research in archaeology and geomorphology, addressing the intricate relationship between landscape evolution and human occupation. However, a fundamental and critical element is missing from this submission: the abstract. An abstract serves as the concise summary of an entire research paper, outlining its objectives, the methodologies employed, the key findings, and the main conclusions. Without this essential overview, it is impossible for a reviewer to assess the novelty of the approach, the specific geoarchaeological issues being investigated, the rigor or appropriateness of the "semi-automatic classification" techniques, or the significance and broader implications of the study's results. Consequently, any evaluation of the paper's scientific merit, relevance, or potential impact cannot be made. Given the complete absence of an abstract, it is not feasible to provide a meaningful review of this manuscript. While the topic conveyed by the title is certainly promising and relevant to current research in geoarchaeology and remote sensing, the submission is critically incomplete. I recommend that the authors provide a comprehensive abstract that clearly articulates their research questions, methodological approach, significant results, and main conclusions before the manuscript can be properly evaluated in a peer-review setting.
