As powerful economic and cultural centers, fortified sites played an important role in early medieval society. In Central Europe, site research has been essential topic for several generations. However, gradual changes the landscape are a threat to these heritage monuments. The main task of this paper was compare previous results from archaeological excavations with new data acquired by geophys...

Geophysical studies over Kartchner Caverns State Park mapped structure and groundwater patterns beneath valley alluvium and determined the geophysical expression of the caverns at the surface. Three techniques were employed: electromagnetics (EM), gravity, and natural potential (NP). Electromagnetic traverses in the area failed to detect the voids, owing to the very low conductivity of the carb...

In this work, we present the result of a large-scale geophysical survey that had the objective of identifying the subsurface characteristics and the NE-SW extension of the Hockai Fault Zone: a major NNW-SSE oriented crustal-rooted fault zone crossing the Stavelot-Venn Massif (Eastern Belgium). 31 two-dimensional electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) profiles are presented, resulting in 10,679...

Petrophysical information is sometimes available from well logs, laboratory measurements, etc. It has been shown that incorporation of such information into geophysical inversions can greatly improve the recovered models. However, when the known petrophysical information is not applicable throughout the entire region, the application of petrophysical constraints to geophysical inversions could ...

A combination of geophysical methods could be very a useful and a practical way of verifying the origin and precise localisation of archaeological situations identified by different remote sensing techniques. The results of different methods (and scales) of monitoring these fully non-destructive methods provide distinct data and often complement each other. The presented examples of combination...

In the framework of IH-AT (Invisible Heritage Analysis and Technology) project, a cluster churches ranging from 11th to 16th centuries, located in Troodos Mountain range Cyprus, designated by UNESCO as World monuments, were investigated using Non-Destructive-Techniques (NDT) (geophysical topographic survey), 3D modelling visualisation methods, contextualised interpreted art-historical archaeolo...
