Therefore, an integrated geophysical survey based on magnetic, geoelectric and ground-penetrating radar (GPR) prospections was executed in the Park. The methods provided a basic map of buried ancient structures at depth from 0.1-0.2 to about 1.5 meters. Magnetic data were processed analyzing the analytical signal of the vertical derivative of the measured gradient and this substantially reduced a strong fence effect. The results of the geophysical prospections showed archaeological structures located close to those discovered in the excavated areas. The shape of the anomalies are usually elongated with well-defined geometrical characteristics. Many anomalies are arranged along orthogonal directions and they are very coherent with the excavated structures, namely the quarters structures of the ancient Picentia.

Infatti, fine ultimo di questa tesi di dottorato e stato quello di definire, mediante l’utilizzo della metodologia geoelettrica ed in particolare del metodo della resistivita, la possibilita di ottimizzare la risoluzione in varie problematiche geologiche e/o archeologiche sia in termini di acquisizione che di elaborazione e ricostruzione del sottosuolo investigato. Pertanto, sono state modellizzate diverse situazioni geologiche ed archeologiche al fine di individuare lo schema di acquisizione dei dati che consentisse una buona ricostruzione delle strutture da definire riducendo il numero di misure da eseguire. Le prospezio...
