Noninvasive geophysical integrated survey at Madonna del Giglio (Sabine necropolis, Magliano Sabina, Latium, Central Italy)
An application of integration approaches for archaeo‐geophysical data
Transforming multi‐dimensional datasets, containing measurements of different physical parameters recorded at the same location, into a single composite imagery is quite important and frequently used in geophysical analysis as well as other scientific disciplines. This study focuses on the application of several different integration approaches for archaeo‐geophysical data with a purpose of achieving complementary and improved information about t…

The Lateran Project
The archaeological area of the Lateran in Rome lies immediately within the Aurelian Walls near the gate of the Via Tusculana, under the Cathedral of St. John and the neighboring buildings. It is an area of great historical importance. The domus of the first two centuries AD were superseded by the Castra Nova Equitum Singularium of Septimius Severus and later by the Constantinian basilica and the Lateran bishopric
GPR Remote Sensing in Archaeology
This book provides a complete description of the processes needed to take raw GPR data all the way to the construction of subsurface images. The book provides an introduction to the theory of GPR by using a simulator that shows how radar profiles across simple model structures look and provides many examples so that the complexity of radar signatures can be understood. The book continues with a review of the necessary radargram signal processes n…

Integrated Geophysical and Archaeological Investigations of Aquinum in Frosinone, Italy
To better understand the location and help in the conservation of buried structures at the ancient site of Aquinum in central Italy, integrated archaeological and geophysical data were acquired. These datasets included historical and oblique aerial photographs, which were combined with topographical and archaeological field-walking survey. These data showed the general location of the Roman town Aquinum. To verify preliminary interpretations grou…
Integrated GPR and archaeological investigations to characterise the Palatino’s area and Coliseum Valley (Forum, Roma, Italy)
From 2001 to 2008 a series of archaeological investigations made side-by-side with geophysical surveys at the Palatino Hill and the Coliseum Valley, nearest Elagabalo’s Thermae (Forum, Roma), a sequence of complex buildings related to the Roman period between the late republican and Severo’s age have been detected. The oldest building is a domus of the late Republican period which is located nearest a tabernae, in front of a line connecting the C…
Integration of ground remote sensing surveys and archaeological excavation to characterize the medieval mound (Scarlino, Tuscany-Italy)
The landscape of Scarlino (Grosseto, Italy) has been studied by the Department of Archaeology (University of Siena) since 1979. The archaeological site was identified in vertical air photos, but the unavailability of GPS devices at the time made location in the field difficult. Aerial photo analysis allowed us to interpret the evidence as a triple enclosure. This paper presents the data collected with magnetic, GPR and Automatic Resistivity Profi…
Integration of remote sensing, geophysical surveys and archaeological excavation for the study of a medieval mound (Tuscany, Italy)
The area described in this article was ‘detected’ by the Laboratory for Landscape Archeology and Remote Sensing, University of Siena research team during aerial prospection in spring 2005. Analysis of the aerial photographs allowed interpretation of the site as a triple‐ditched enclosure. During subsequent field‐walking survey a number of archaeological artefacts were collected and mapped. Differential global positioning system (DGPS) survey conf…
Multimethodological approach to investigate chamber tombs in the Sabine Necropolis at Colle del Forno (CNR, Rome, Italy)
Non‐destructive geophysical prospecting methods are increasingly used for the investigation of archaeological sites, especially where a detailed physical and geometrical reconstruction of structures is required prior to any excavation work. Often, due to the limited size and depth of an archaeological structure, it may be rather difficult to single out its position and extent because of the generally low signal‐to noise (S/N) ratio. This can be o…

In this work, the results of high‐resolution integrated geophysical surveys of the archaeological site of Traiano's Villa (Altopiani di Arcinazzo, Roma, Italy) are presented. The Villa of Roman Emperor Marco Ulpio Traino ( AD 98–117) was built in Arcinazzo (Italy), approximately 55 km northeast of Rome. Today, the only remains left standing at the site are the public building entrances comprising a small portion of the entire site. Over 5 ha, adj…

Experimental Tests for Characterization of the GPR Pulse using Different Antennae Configurations. Detection of Shallow‐depth Bodies and Archaeological Structure
The interpretation of ground penetrating radar (GPR) signals requires a good knowledge of the electromagnetic wave generation and propagation phenomena. Both visual interpretation of the radar sections and numerical processing of the echoes are based on theoretical considerations aiming to explain the wave scattering mechanism from simple structures and wave reflections from subsurface anomalous bodies. Actually, GPR involves a very complex pheno…
Integrated Geophysical Prospecting at Ripa Tetta Neolithic Site (Lucera, Foggia-Italy)
The search for bodies of archaeological interest and buried anthropogenic objects at shallow depths, can be improved by using different geophysical methods. A comparison between two integrative methods (fluxgate differential magnetic and GPR methods) has been performed with the aim of defining the ring ditch at a neolithic site (Ripa Tetta, Lucera) near Foggia (Italy), the extent of which was uncertain. After processing the field data, the radar …
Location of Archaeological Structures using GPR Method
Generally, in order to detect shallow archaeological features, such as tombs, cavities, walls, etc., ground penetrating radar (GPR) data are acquired along parallel profiles. In some cases, the data collected using the GPR method are difficult to interpret owing to the presence of low signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio. These signals can be generated by several factors that significantly influence the radar profiles. To enhance the interpretation of rad…

High-resolution geophysical prospecting with integrated methods. The ancient Acropolis of Veio (Rome, Italy)
The fundamental geophysical goal in archaeological prospection, in near-surface investigations and generally in environmental applications is to construct as complete as possible maps of subsurface targets. The main effort in archaeology is also the integration of different, absolutely non-invasive techniques, especially if they are used in the high-resolution three-dimensional tomographic mode. In the present work a combination of fluxgate diffe…
Quantitative integration of geophysical methods for archaeological prospection
Multi-method surveys have been used with the aim of detecting either sharp discontinuities (boundary of the cavity, fractures in the medium, etc.) or volumetric variations (bodies with different physical properties), at three different archaeological test sites. For the survey a combination of passive and active methods (magnetic, GPR and dipole–dipole geoelectric method) has been used. With all methods a high-resolution data acquisition method h…
