Application of integrated geophysical methods in archaeological site: Belgrado di Varmo
OBJECTIVE
Our
objective was to identify the remains on an ancient MIddle Age castle near the
Varmo river.
A GPR survey was conducted both inside and outside the church of Belgrado were some buried remnants were supposed to exist: a 3D grid of closely spaced profiles (0.5 m) was acquired by georadar SIR2000 (200 MHz and 500 MHz). A magnetometric survey was also carried out along the same profiles, while 2D and 3D ERT was employed outsidethe church.
After excavations we found: a tomb, 3 buried walls near the church and a particular circular structure in front the church.
