MAGNETOMETER SURVEY ON THE "MUTERA"
AT THE VILLAGE OF ODERZO ( VENETO REGION )

A magnetometer survey was carried out  on   a  man made hill near the little town of Oderzo, 25 km  far from   Venice.    Until the 60's,it was possible to see many little hills in the country,   called  "Mutera" by the inhabitans. According to  the  most  common opinion  some of  these little hills could be tumuli, military defensive structures, sites dedicated to cult and astronomical observations.    As  it is possible to see in the 3-D   map,   the  main  result  is  represented  by  two very clear  and intense magnetic anomalies marked A and B, ubicated approximately on the top of the hill. The  archaeological  excavation proved  that the very strong magnetic anomaly A and the less one  B  were  produced by a Roman   Age  kiln  and  by its manifacture discards respectively. Thanks to the results  of  the  magnetic  survey,  the     "Mutera"   was declared   of    archaeological   interest   and   then    preserved  from destruction.

MAGNETOMETER SURVEY ON A ROMAN AGE SITE AT THE VILLAGE OF TEOR
( UDINE, NORTH EASTERN ITALY )

A magnetometer survey was carried out on an area where remains of archaeological interest were found during agricultural works. Owing to a lot of briks and fired clay , archaeologists deduced the possible presence of buried kilns. The final result of the survey is shown in the 2-D and 3-D maps of the magnetic anomalies where three very intese anomalies, signed A, B and C are clearly visible. Anomalies A and B were later investigated by a trench, revealing the presence of two Roman Age kilns. The other anomaly C was not verified, but it is suspected to be a kiln too.

The magnetic survey was carried out on a Bronze Age Paleovenetian settlement. The magnetic dipolar anomaly   "A"   clearly visible in both contour and surface maps is originated by a fireplace.

ROMAN VILLA RUSTICA AT THE VILLAGE OF S. VITO ( NORTH EASTERN ITALY )

The   presence   of   underground   archaeological    structures    was suspected by a large amount of little remains, pieces   of  brick   and mosaic come to light during the agricultural work. A magnetic survey on an area of approximately 2400 square metres allowed  to find the existence of a building, whose walls aligned in north – south direction are clearly identifiable in 2 D and 3 D maps  of   the  magnetic  field’s anomalies.
