GPR Survey at the Archaeological Roman Site of Turaniana, Almeria, Spain

The exploration of sites of potential archaeological interest is a time consuming and strenuous exercise. The advent of economically feasible geophysical sensing methods has significantly altered the landscape for identifying and evaluating potential sites and detecting variances on the surface. This paper evaluates the use of Ground Penetrating Radar to acquire and process data on an archeological site in Turaniana in Southern Spain. Results from four areas within a target zone were evaluated with the help of 3D Visualization. Several structures within these areas were identified to be of promising nature and would be ideal locations for excavation for an in-depth analysis
