- Abstract:
- This study presents the first archaeogeophysical results of the investigated area where the geophysical aim was the integratation of geomagnetic, ground-penetrating radar techniques. These environments, characterized by their unique geohydrological challenges, demand a tailored approach to subsurface diagnostics. This research assesses the potential of non-invasive surveys in enhancing archaeological understanding, especially in areas with prior excavation history. We focus on diagnostic sensitivity, data integration, and methodological adaptability under geologically complex conditions. The first results highlighted the multiple zones of magnetic anomalies, providing insights into buried structures and site preservation needs, and contributing tools for preventive archaeology and long-term monitoring. This research is part of a project funded by Patrum Lumen Sustine-Stiftung Foundation focused on advancing methodological approaches to archaeological geophysics in water-saturated coastal environments in Comacchio village (Roman Villa of Agosta archaeological site).
