This investigation focuses on the geological characteristics of the Caserta town area and, through the analysis of data from subsurgace and field surveys, it aims at defining more precise stratigraphic constraints on the northeastern region
of the Plain. Geological data derive from the study of some 300 lithostratigraphic logs from boreholes reaching a 60 m maximum depth. Deeper lithological data were obtained from boreholes drilled for hydrogeological surveys. The stratigraphic data have been
stored in a MS Access database. Processing of the data into a Geographic Information System (GIS) project has allowed the construction of a digital surface model (DMS) of the bottom and top of the subsurface units. Knowledge of such a geological setting
