A high-resolution Mosaic at the Kyme Archaeological Site (Turkey)
No full textAn extended high-resolution magnetic investigation was undertaken at the archaeological site in
Kyme (Turkey). In order to obtain highly resolved digital raster images, the gradient data sets were
processed by using digital image processing techniques. In addition to these sets of data, the
magnetic field measurements acquired by the bottom sensor alone were also processed. A careful
comparison between the gradient data magnetograms and the bottom sensor magnetograms
revealed how the entire mosaic, elaborated by processing the bottom sensor data, could fruitfully
integrate and improve the information inferred by the vertical gradient magnetograms. Finally, the
main archaeological features outlined from this magnetic investigation, as well as the results of a
first guided excavation, are presented

No full textA high-resolution magnetic survey was performed on a large cultivated field located inside a heavily
built-up town in Southern Italy. Measurements with a vertical gradiometer were even carried out relatively close (down to 35 m) to sources of strong magnetic noise. Despite these particularly unfavourable surroundings, the geophysical investigation made it possible to detect and recognize buried archaeological remains from the Neolithic age
