  • Opening the Frontier

    Open AccessSimon Stoddart, Pier Matteo Barone et al.ARTICLEPapers of the British School at…2012Cited by: 3References: 14

    The frontier between Gubbio (ancient Umbria) and Perugia (ancient Etruria), in the northeast part of the modern region of Umbria, was founded in the late sixth century bc . The frontier endured in different forms, most notably in the late antique and medieval periods, as well as fleetingly in 1944, and is fossilized today in the local government boundaries. Archaeological, documentary and philological evidence are brought together to investigate …

  • Mapping the Undiscovered Ruins of Pompeii (Naples, Italy) Using Ground Penetrating Radar

    Open AccessElena Pettinelli, Pier Matteo Barone et al.ARTICLEArchaeometry2012Cited by: 1References: 14

    The ground penetrating radar (GPR) technique was tested in Pompeii, in an unexplored area where the Roman ruins are partially buried in the volcanic deposits. The method was also combined with time domain reflectometry (TDR) measurements to estimate the dielectric properties of the different volcanic units. In spite of the total thickness of the covering materials and the high signal attenuation measured in some layers, the radar was able to show…

  • How could Archeo-Geophysics help garbage disposal? A fortuitous discovery in Central Italy

    Open AccessPier Matteo Barone, C Ferrara et al.ARTICLEAntiqua2012

    We present a non-destructive geophysical technique (Ground Penetrating Radar) as a suitable method for both the detection of buried archeological structures, as is already known, and as an aid to local administrators in the planning of potential waste management sites (e.g., landfills or incinerators). This can prevent the potential destruction of important archeological sites. The discovery of a subsurface archeological target a few dozen kilome…

  • Ground‐penetrating Radar in the Regio III (Pompeii, Italy)

    Open AccessPier Matteo Barone, T Bellomo et al.ARTICLEArchaeological Prospection2011Cited by: 1References: 4

    Ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) investigations were performed in Pompeii, in an area of the Regio III that is not yet fully excavated but is bounded by areas where much is known about the ancient Roman city. At the site studied, large areas containing preserved archaeological features are buried under as much as 8 m of volcanic deposits. The GPR survey was conducted using perpendicular reflection profiles in a grid adjacent to a scarp parallel to …

  • Ground‐penetrating radar investigations into the construction techniques of the Concordia Temple (Agrigento, Sicily, Italy)

    Open AccessPier Matteo Barone, Frank Graziano et al.ARTICLEArchaeological Prospection2007Cited by: 5References: 1

    Over the past decade, ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) has been recognized as being particularly well adapted to the non‐destructive survey of archaeological sites. The present work discusses such an application of the GPR to the study of the foundation geometry of the Concordia Temple in Agrigento (Sicily, southern Italy). Radar data were collected using a pulse EKKO 1000 unit (Sensors and Software, Inc.) with 225 MHz antennae. The GPR data show a…
