High resolution time lapse 3D ERT aiming for moisture detection on pillars of standing monuments
Time lapse ERT on standing monuments, Moisture detection using optimized 3D ERT arrays

Mapping root system in church altar wall, Reflections from construction failures, tiles, plates, and wooden bonding, Some reflections likely due to tree's root system
Geophysical Investigations at the Artemision at Amarynthos of Euboea (Greece)
A combination of resistivity mapping and three‐dimensional electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) was used to investigate the subsurface of the sanctuary of Artemis Amarysia in Amarynthos, Euboea (Greece), an area where archaeological remains from the Bronze Age to the post‐Byzantine period are preserved. The survey strategy was tailored to the site‐specific conditions—such as modern infrastructure and ground conditions—and prioritized electrica…
Three‐Dimensional Electrical Resistivity Tomography Schemes Optimized for Imaging Wall Foundations
This paper describes the application of three‐dimensional electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) in urban environments to detect wall foundations or similar structures. In this study, a specific measurement strategy based on optimized 3D measurement arrays with surface electrodes is proposed and tested. As this type of survey can be used for archaeological prospection, a special design was chosen to make the survey as non‐invasive as possible. T…
D Electrical Resistivity Tomography Using a Radial Array and Detailed Topography for Tumuli Prospection
Tumuli, ancient burial mounds, stand as intriguing archaeological features, offering valuable insights into past cultures and burial practices. This paper explores the significance of tumuli inspection and utilizes electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) as a noninvasive and powerful tool for inspecting these enigmatic structures, using a nonconventional array. Tumuli, spanning various shapes and sizes, serve as repositories of cultural and funer…
Revealing the Internal Structure of the Great Tumulus of Apollonia by Means of Seismic Tomography
The Great Tumulus of Apollonia in northern Greece, with a diameter of ~100 m and a height of 19 m, is among the largest of its kind in the region of the ancient kingdom of Macedonia. It is located north of the ancient city of Apollonia and recently became the focus of limited archaeological excavations, which revealed a looted Macedonian tomb. Archaeological findings and other evidence from the tumulus and its surroundings suggest that it may hav…
Joint Interpretation of Various Geophysical Data by Means of Image Fusion in Philippi in Northern Greece
Resistance and magnetic mapping, ERTs and aerial photography put together. – Fusion was attempted through curvelet transform.– The useful information of all methods is given in a combined image at the site of Philippi in Greece
Application of Two Dimensional Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) For Moisture Detection in Thessaloniki’s Rotunda Pillars and Three-Dimensional ERT Modeling Using Optimized Electrode Arrays
Moisture detection inside pillars using electrical resistivity tomography (ERT).– Three-dimensional ERT modeling using non-conventional arrays.– Jacobian matrix optimization method
Archaeological prospection north of Schinias rowing centre in Marathon at the site of ancient Trikorynthos
A large‐scale geophysical survey was carried out at the foothills of a topographic table hosting the ruins of the ancient city ‘Trikorynthos’, in the area of Marathon, north of Athens. The explored site assumed to host remnants of ancient constructions belonging to the ancient city. Although the explored site is associated with the final phase of the famous Marathon battle, it was not expected to bear any signs of that event. Because the bulk of …
Microgravity method in archaeological prospection
Detailed and precise measurement of the Earth's gravity field (microgravity method) can be effectively used for the detection and quantification of subsurface voids and/or cavities. There exist a variety of successful applications of the microgravity method in near surface geophysics, namely in geotechnical, environmental and archaeological prospection. Using state‐of‐the‐art ‘microgal’ relative gravity meters, cavities of several metres in each …
ERT imaging of the interior of the huge tumulus of Kastas in Amphipolis (northern Greece)
The geophysical investigations aiming to image the interior of the huge tumulus of Kastas in Amphipolis in northern Greece commenced on November of 2014 and continued sporadically until the first months of 2017. The electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) method was exclusively employed in both conventional and innovative schemes. Due to the immense size of the tumulus, an irregular grid was established on the tumulus whereas regular grids of ERT…
Assessing the Condition of the Rock Mass over the Tunnel of Eupalinus in Samos (Greece) using both Conventional Geophysical Methods and Surface to Tunnel Electrical Resistivity Tomography
The surviving Tunnel of Eupalinus comprises one of the greatest engineering achievements of ancient Greeks. The tunnel itself (1036 m long) was carved in the sixth century bc through solid rock by digging from both ends and advancing to the central meeting position. The method for achieving the meeting of the two simultaneously advancing branches is still unclear. The ancient lining shows damage, indicating instability of the rock mass, presumabl…
Geophysical Survey as an Aid to Excavation at Mitrou
Non‐destructive electrical resistivity tomography for indoor investigation
The area inside and around the church of Kapnikarea in Athens (Greece), was explored by means of electrical resistivity tomography (ERT). ‘Flat base’ electrodes were used exclusively because the survey had to be fully non‐destructive. The performance of ‘flat base’ electrodes was satisfactory, leading to inversions of small root mean square (RMS) errors and reliable subsurface images, which were checked against existing borehole logs. High‐resist…
Feasibility study on the use of seismic methods in detecting monumental tombs buried in tumuli
A tumulus is a monumental construction erected to cover a tomb. In this paper, we examine the feasibility of the seismic method in detecting buried tombs without destroying the tumulus. In the proposed seismic method, a number of refraction profiles are employed. First, we conduct a seismic refraction survey in order to map the subsurface in the vicinity of the tumulus. Then, we choose the optimum parameters of the seismic refraction survey which…
