Integrated geophysical and archaeological investigations of Aquinum in Frosinone, Italy,

Abstract

To better understand the location and help in the conservation of buried structures at the ancient site of Aquinum in central Italy, integrated archaeological and geophysical data were acquired. These datasets included historical and oblique aerial photographs, which were combined with topographical and archaeological field‐walking survey. These data showed the general location of the Roman town Aquinum. To verify preliminary interpretations groundpenetrating radar (GPR) data were collected in an open area of the town centre. The results show very good correspondence between the buried architecture and the aerial photograph and field walking data. A number of unexpected buried buildings were also discovered, which were excavated in 2009 and 2010 and showed remains of a public thermal bath.
