Geophysical Prospecting in Archaeology

Geophysical prospecting with controlled - source electromagnetic data Oriol

Controlled-source electromagnetics (CSEM) is an active geophysical technique sensitive to the electrical resistivity of the subsoil, with the peculiarity that the source producing the electromagnetic signal is a man-made device. It has been largely applied for offshore environments in hydrocarbon exploration due to the good penetration depth and resolution, although its application onshore is s...

Historical damage pattern and causes of differential damage: an approach based on combining geophysical prospecting, geological and historical-technical data

We describe a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary method to analyse the causes of differential macroseismic effects caused by an earthquake in a historical town. We illustrate the method with a case study based on analysing the damage caused by the 1930 Irpinia earthquake (Me=6.7) in Melfi, a town in southern Italy. A damage pattern map was already available for this site. To understand the...

Integrated Geophysical and Aerial Sensing Methods for Archaeology: A Case History in the Punic Site of Villamar (Sardinia, Italy)

In this paper, the authors present a recent integrated survey carried out on an archaeological urban site, generally free of buildings, except some temporary structures related to excavated areas where multi-chamber tombs were found. The two methods used to investigate this site were thermal infrared and ground penetrating radar (GPR). The thermography was carried out with the sensor mounted un...
