This book provides information and tools necessary to bridge and
integrate the knowledge gaps related to the acquisition and
processing of archaeological data, specifically in the field of
preventive diagnostics, urban centers, archaeological parks and
historical monuments, through activities that involve the
application of non-invasive diagnostic detection systems, in the
field of applied geophysics. The principal aim of this book is to
define a tool for experts that work in the frame of Cultural
Heritage and to identify a procedure of intervention transferable
and usable in different geographical contexts and areas of
investigations: it could help to decide the better technique of
investigation to apply in relation to the predictive
characteristics of the archaeological site and the objectives of
the survey. The book is divided in two parts. The first one
explains the theory of ground high resolution penetrating radar
(GPR), electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), controlled source
electromagnetism system, differential magnetic method and the
scenario of integrated methods of different geophysical techniques.
Each section covers the basic theory (complete description of the
physical parameters involved in the method), field instruments
(description of all systems actually offered by commercial
companies), field techniques (presentation of the main procedures
and setting parameters used to explore the ground surface during
data acquisition), techniques of data processing and representation
(main processing routines and comparison between different
techniques; presentation of different typologies of graphical
representation), and the possibility and limitations of methods
(explanation of best and worst conditions of implementation of the
geophysical technique in relation to the contrasts between
archaeological features and the natural background and the features
of the instruments and arrays). The second part describes some
applications of geophysical prospection to Cultural Heritage in
detailed case histories, divided in sections relative to monuments,
historical buildings, urban centres, archaeological parks and
ancient viability. Moreover, examples of integration of
three-dimensional reliefs and geophysical diagnostic of a monuments
and studies of large scale reconnaissance implemented into a
Geographical Information System are treated. In each case study the
authors cover the description of the archaeological or historical
contest; an explanation of the problem to solve; a choice of the
geophysical methods; the setting of the procedure of data
acquisition; techniques of data processing; a representation,
interpretation, and discussion of the results.
