Abstract

Abstract The paper presents results of a geophysical survey conducted in Crikvenica, a town located at the north-eastern Adriatic Sea coast in Croatia. The main aim was to identify extent of a Roman pottery workshop discovered to the north of the present town, at the site known as “Igralište”. The performed magnetic and GPR surveys within the area of the modern playground in Crikvenica revealed a large number of anomalies that may be connected with anthropogenic activity during different periods, both in modern and ancient times. The first group consists of anomalies generated by remnants of the modern underground infrastructure. Magnetic and ground-penetrating radar maps revealed anomalies in the north-western part of the modern playground that can be very likely interpreted as remains of a large ceramic kiln dated back to the Roman Period, similar to the kiln discovered during the excavations located further to the north. Finally, the survey performed within the Crikvenica football stadium clearly indicates that the integration of different Ground Penetrating Radar and magnetic methods allows for a detailed and effective identification of buried archaeological structures in large areas.

罗马陶器作坊的遥感。在克列克韦尼察(克罗地亚古Ad Turres)进行的地球物理调查报告

摘要本文介绍了在位于克罗地亚亚得里亚海东北部海岸的克里克韦尼察镇进行的地球物理调查的结果。主要目的是确定在现在的城镇北部发现的罗马陶器作坊的范围，该遗址被称为“Igralište”。在克里克韦尼察现代游乐场区域内进行的磁力和探地雷达调查显示，在现代和古代不同时期，可能与人类活动有关的大量异常现象。第一组由现代地下基础设施残余产生的异常组成。磁探和探地雷达地图显示，在现代运动场的西北部出现了异常，这很可能被解释为一个可以追溯到罗马时期的大型陶瓷窑的遗迹，类似于在更北的挖掘中发现的窑炉。最后，在克里克韦尼察足球场内进行的调查清楚地表明，不同的探地雷达和磁方法的结合可以详细有效地识别大面积埋藏的考古结构。

期刊介绍： Studia Quaternaria is designed to publish scientific works concerning the Quaternary, on local, regional and global scale. Studia Quaternaria is interested in all fields of research dealing with stratigraphy and reconstruction of the past environments, including palaeogeography, palaeoecology, palaeoclimatology, palaeohydrology etc. The journal is also open to studies of natural environmental processes, and to recognition of mechanisms involved in the dynamics of our environment. The clue is that the Quaternary is still ongoing and vivid, and understanding of its past and present development support each other.
