ABSTRACT

GPR surveys were conducted at four sites as part of XVth. Summer School Geophysics for Landscape Archaeology of the University of Siena at Grosseto in July of 2006. The main purpose of the GPR was to introduce the GPR method to students in archaeological geophysics. The sites surveyed were located in Grosseto. Crop marks visible on aerial photographs as well as from ground surface remains, indicate that a destroyed Roman villa is present on part of the survey site. The possibility to further the information below the ground surface on the villa using GPR was a secondary objective for the study.
