Geophysical investigations in the Castle of Crotone (Calabria Region, Italy)

Abstract

This work is about geophysical investigations carried out in the Carlo V king's castle, in Crotone village (Calabria Region, Italy). A magnetic method (M), ground penetrating radar (GPR) and electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) surveys have been used to locate buried remains and old walkway. Each interesting area was investigated with a map survey, which is obtained acquired along several parallel profiles. Therefore, a 2D magnetic maps and a 3D GPR and resistivity data have been obtained. Finally, the ERT and GPR results showed some features associated to buried military walkway.
