oa Identification of shallow targets through integrated 2-D and 3-D multi-fold georadar investigation: A case history

A 3D multi-fold GPR investigation was carried out in the archaeological park of Aquileia in the framework of a survey proposed by the local superintendency of cultural heritage. Primary objective of the work was the identification of targets of potential archaeological interest in a polygon of approximately 2800 sqm in area, which borders the town cemetery to the north. The comparison of single-fold and multi-fold test profiles encouraged the design of a complete multi-fold grid. The 3-D option was chosen to correlate and map targets of limited dimensions. Targets of possible archaeological interest were identified at estimated depths not exceeding 200 cm in the part of the dataset processed to date.
