Integrated geophysical studies at ancient Itanos (Greece)

Ground penetrating radar time slices and 3D electrical tomography depth slices were used for the verification of specific anthropogenic anomalies, which were detected on the geophysical maps. A shallow seismic survey was carried out, in an effort to locate and map the ancient port. The combination of a wide spectrum of geophysical prospecting techniques was successful in delineating the buried relics, enhancing the information context regarding the Hellenistic settlement of Itanos, together with its port and necropolis. The geophysical survey at Itanos demonstrates that the integrated approach is appropriate for archaeological investigations at complex sites like Itanos.
