A new TDR-based method for monitoring the stability of underground archaeological sites

Abstract

In spite of preliminary prospections, it oftenoccurs that new underground archaeological sites canbe unexpectedly discovered while, for example, constructingbuildings or subways, or during archaeologicalexcavations, etc. In such cases, it is common practiceto re-bury the discovered site, while waiting for theAgencies and/or Bodies in charge to decide about thecontinuation. In such a scenario, it is important to beable to monitor the site, so as to prevent possible landslipand consequent catastrophic events. To this purpose,the present work proposes the use of a wire-like,passive sensing element that can be buried in the soilcovering the archeological site and that can be used inconjunction with time domain reflectometry (TDR), tomonitor the soil and to provide a prompt alert of incipientsigns of landslip.
