Abstract

The results of the geophysical surveys carried out in the city of Ugento, specifically in the St. Antonio area and into the Medieval Castle, are presented in this paper. The aim of this study is to integrate the results of Ground-Penetrating Radar and Electrical Resistivity Tomography surveys in order to support archaeological investigations aimed at the elaboration of a detailed archaeological map of the Messapian, Roman and Medieval settlement. Indeed, the obtained data were jointly analysed with archaeological data already known and were georeferenced on the general plans of the site in order to obtain an overall view of the anomalies detected by geophysical instrumentation and related to buried ancient structures. In particular, the geophysical surveys carried out in the St. Antonio area made it possible to reconstruct a stretch of the Messapian city walls and nearby necropolis, while the investigations inside the Castle allowed for the acquisition of very interesting data about previous phases dated to the Middle Ages (and maybe also the Messapian or Roman ages) and about the geo-morphological characteristics of the site.

探地雷达和电阻率层析成像调查旨在了解墨萨比亚人和中世纪的Ugento定居点(意大利阿普利亚南部)

本文介绍了在乌金托市，特别是在圣安东尼奥地区和中世纪城堡进行的地球物理调查的结果。这项研究的目的是整合探地雷达和电阻率层析成像测量的结果，以支持考古调查，旨在详细绘制墨萨比亚、罗马和中世纪定居点的考古地图。的确，所获得的数据与已知的考古数据进行了联合分析，并参照了该遗址的总体规划，以便全面了解地球物理仪器探测到的与埋藏的古代建筑有关的异常情况。特别是，在圣安东尼奥地区进行的地球物理调查使重建一段梅萨比亚城墙和附近的墓地成为可能，而对城堡内部的调查则可以获得非常有趣的数据，这些数据可以追溯到中世纪(也可能是梅萨比亚或罗马时代)，以及该遗址的地理形态特征。

期刊介绍： Exploration Geophysics is published on behalf of the Australian Society of Exploration Geophysicists (ASEG), Society of Exploration Geophysics of Japan (SEGJ), and Korean Society of Earth and Exploration Geophysicists (KSEG). The journal presents significant case histories, advances in data interpretation, and theoretical developments resulting from original research in exploration and applied geophysics. Papers that may have implications for field practice in Australia, even if they report work from other continents, will be welcome. ´Exploration and applied geophysics´ will be interpreted broadly by the editors, so that geotechnical and environmental studies are by no means precluded. Papers are expected to be of a high standard. Exploration Geophysics uses an international pool of reviewers drawn from industry and academic authorities as selected by the editorial panel. The journal provides a common meeting ground for geophysicists active in either field studies or basic research.
