INVESTIGATION OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES, EVALUATION OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL POTENTIAL
USING NON DESTRUCTIVE GEOPHYSICAL METHODS


                  
                   ARCHAEOSURVEY   has    carried   out   for   over  seventeen   years  non-destructive geophysical surveys emploing  the  most  modern  and  effective  methods (magnetometer, resistivity and radar surveys) in archaeological field evaluation.

Thanks  to   geophysical   methods, it  is  possible   to  detect the underground presence of structures   such  us   walls,   foundations, floors, roads, kilns, hearths, tombs, graves, pits cavities, mounds and filled ditches. Geophysical methods allow to draw an "archaeological map" of   the    underground.    This    mapping    has  a   double  function:   it  indicates  to archaeologists the exact  location  where  excavation  has  to  be  made, and it can provide the criteria for proper land planning.

The location of archeological sites can  be  used  as a guide for politicians,  administrators  and  town   planners   in     carrying    out   territorial  projects, avoiding the risk to destroy important remains from the past.
