Two research questions guided the analysis: First, under what circumstances does the combination of remote sensing, geomagnetic survey and fieldwalking enable reliable chronological attribution of subsurface features? Second, how does the joint interpretation of independent datasets contribute to reconstructing settlement dynamics beyond the known fortifications? To address these questions, multi-temporal aerial and satellite imagery, vertical gradient geomagnetic prospection and systematic fieldwalking were integrated within a GIS framework. A feature-based interpretative workflow was developed to formalise the logic connecting geomagnetic anomalies, surface artefact distributions and imagery-derived evidence, making explicit both the correspondence criteria and the degree of residual uncertainty for each classified feature. The results show that multi-method integration reduces interpretive ambiguity in a complex palimpsest landscape but does not resolve it univocally: Chronological attribution remains interpretative for most anomalies, and its reliability scales with the degree of convergence between independent datasets. The feature-based workflow developed here demonstrates that formalising the interpretive logic, rather than relying on implicit visual synthesis, allows uncertainty to remain visible and spatially localised where datasets do not converge.

Its remains are located in the Olympia Terrace (Peloponnese, Greece) at the present-day confluence of the rivers Alpheios and Kladeos at the base of Mount Kronos. Olympia is situated on the northern fringe of the Makrisia Basin. Due to its position between the two rivers, the sanctuary was covered by several metres of sediment (mainly silt and sand) after its abandonment, which complicates exploration and excavation. This raised the following questions: (i) Are there more buildings connected to the Sanctuary than previously known from excavations, and if so, (ii) how and (iii) with what resolution can such deeply buried structures be detected using geophysics? During geophysical and geoarchaeological campaigns in 2021 and 2023, an integrated multi-method approach containing electromagnetic induction, electrical resistivity tomography and shear-wave seismic measurements, aiming specifically at looking below the thick sediment cover, was performed between the excavated parts of the sanctuary and the southwestern edge of the original Olympia Terrace. A multi-phase filter was developed to separate the electromagnetic response signal of the Mediterranean olive grove from subsurface features. The chosen prospection approach was evaluated in terms of its resolution and ability to image ancient building remains at depths, that cannot be reached by commonly used geophysical methods in archaeological prospection.

However, its methodological and analytical application at the excavation scale remains underdeveloped. In this paper, we develop a prospection-oriented workflow that implements UAV-mounted LiDAR to recontextualize legacy excavations within modern geospatial frameworks. We apply this approach at Saqsaywaman, the monumental Inka acropolis overlooking Cusco, Peru, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with nearly a century of intermittent excavation and uneven documentation. Our LiDAR survey covered approximately 69 ha, producing high-density point clouds and derived terrain models capable of detecting subtle microtopographic signatures of past excavations obscured by vegetation and erosion. These LiDAR-derived features were systematically compared with historic maps, archival aerial imagery, excavation reports and oral histories, and were verified through ground-truthing. The analysis allowed us to relocate, with submeter spatial accuracy, over two dozen undocumented or poorly documented excavation trenches. Beyond preventing redundant excavation, this integration of LiDAR and archival data enabled the recontextualization of legacy stratigraphic data, radiocarbon dates and architectural descriptions alongside new excavations. At Saqsaywaman, the approach clarified preimperial occupation sequences in the Cruz Moqo sector and identified previously unrecognized architectural and hydraulic features. More broadly, the study demonstrates how LiDAR can function as a form of archaeological prospection focused on past research activity, extending the scope of prospection beyond site detection to the recovery and synthesis of legacy excavation data. Many major archaeological sites have been excavated repeatedly over decades, leaving behind fragmented records, imprecise maps and unpublished reports that complicate interpretation and risk redundant or destructive re-excavation.

Treman State Park, near Ithaca, New York, in 2022 and 2023. The study aimed to locate the buried remains of a carding and fulling mill that operated between the early and mid-19th centuries in the hamlet of Enfield Falls. By 1920, most of the properties in the hamlet had been purchased by Robert H. Treman and donated to New York State Parks. Subsequently, the landscape was transformed into a park first by park staff and then by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). Our study, therefore, addressed two questions: (1) Could archaeological excavations guided by archival and GPR data help establish the location of the 19th-century carding mill? and (2) how do our findings help refine interpretations of the park's history? GPR survey followed by archaeological excavation revealed the presence of a retaining wall constructed by Company 1265 of the CCC between 1933 and 1935. The wall was buried under a layer of sediment when floodwaters inundated the park on 12 July 1935. Despite the absence of any remnants from the carding and fulling mill, this study uncovered new evidence highlighting the CCC's role in transforming a hamlet into a state park. Our study demonstrates the effectiveness of combining archival and GPR data to cost-effectively and non-invasively identify potential archaeological excavation sites. Furthermore, our work serves as a case study for archaeologists, conservationists and heritage managers seeking to investigate the anthropogenic factors that contribute to the development of ‘natural’ park sites in the United States and elsewhere.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":55490,"journal":{"name":"Archaeological Prospection","volume":"33 3","pages":"659-674"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148904151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we describe the discovery and investigation of a building structure by means of geophysical and geoarchaeological methods in a near coastal, lagoonal surrounding, posing questions about its connection to the sanctuary and about its abandonment. The paper emphasizes the uniqueness of the site, which on the one hand was clearly described by the ancient historian Strabo, thereby limiting its possible location. On the other hand, much of the area is overgrown, inaccessible and in a swampy lagoonal environment, hampering common geophysical prospection approaches. This leads to another question, namely, how the sanctuary can be located through prospection and which integrated methodologies are appropriate for such environments. The performance of the presented integrated approach is assessed using the discovered building as a case study. The architectural structure of the building visualized by geophysical prospection and subsequent archaeological excavations let us conclude that the building is a 28 m by 10 m Archaic sacred building. It was imaged using magnetic gradiometry with additional magnetization inversion, while its underlying stratigraphy was investigated by electromagnetic induction and electrical resistivity tomography, combined with geoarchaeological investigations. The results show that the temple was founded on sand embedded in lagoonal and swampy deposits being influenced by high-energy flooding events. The presented approach, which combines rapid EMI mapping and depth sensing of stratigraphic features, shown here to be effective to appropriate depths in reasonable resolution in comparison with ERT, with coring and small-scale near-surface prospection, provides a feasible and promising approach for wetland prospection not only for the presented case study but for the wider coastal region.</p>","PeriodicalId":55490,"journal":{"name":"Archaeological Prospection","volume":"33 3","pages":"745-758"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/arp.70050","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148904188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
