The aim of this paper was introducing the Sanctuary of Argive Hera and particularly the idea of combining two different professional figures as archaeologist and technologist; indeed, such integration can provide, through a scientific equipment used on the analysed materials, preferably in a not invading way, a remarkable contribute to the comprehension of archaeological finds. In this case, the analysis carried out in the Sanctuary of Hera at river Sele mouth allowed the gathering of many very interesting information about the composition methods of individual items. Such information, supported by the scientific and technical data obtained from the excavation, let outline a clearer picture of the composition methods of these items and better define the importation methods of the most precious objects. Therefore, the carried out study constitute a noteworthy starting point for further surveys allowing a better comprehension not only of the individual items composition but also regarding their local production or alternative import from other areas, within a wide complex of cultural, political and historical dynamics involving the whole city of Paestum beyond the Sanctuary of Hera at river Sele mouth.
