Abstract:
In this paper we present the activities and the preliminary results of archaeo-geophysical and geoarcheological investigations carried out by ISPC_CNR in the Submerged Archaeological Park of Baia (southern Tyrrhenian Sea) in the two-year period 2020-2022 in in the frame of a research agreement with the Phlegraean Fields Archaeological Park (PAFLEG). The surveys were undertaken as part of three marine campaigns carried out in collaboration with the Norbit Subsea of Trondheim (Norway), the Subseafenix of Ravenna (Italy) and the Institute for Mediterranean Studies (IMS) - Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas (FORTH). This latter activity was founded by the Integrated Platform for the European Research Infrastructure on Heritage Science (IPERION HS). The collected data have enabled the characterization and mapping of the archaeological and geological features of the seabed and shallow sub-seabed at very and ultra high resolution, with important and innovative implications on the protection and management of the underwater cultural landscape.
