Description:
«Mercator» (Medocc, INTERREG IIIB) is a European project that is aimed
at a detailed investigation of the historical and archeological heritage of the
Mediterranean area. Within this project, broad research is being financed
regarding the importance of the development of the main ancient merchant
routes in this region. These various tasks include this integrated geophysical
survey at the Tres Tabernae site, an ancient statio along the Appian way
(close to Latina, central Italy). This was carried out using several techniques
that are focused on the identification of buried archeological remains. The
main goal of this investigation was to cover the area surrounding this
partially excavated site to obtain a quick, but meaningful, result relating to
the presence of interesting buried features. For this, the geophysical techniques
involved were frequency-domain electromagnetic induction, groundpenetrating
radar, and magnetometry. To obtain the best results, these
methods were optimized, taking into account the kind of structures involved
and their relation to the environmental context. The combination of these
different geophysical techniques shows good results, indicating the possible
presence of new buried structures, such as walls, floors and a lead pipe.
