Proton magnetometer survey at the Menelaion and environs

Abstract

Two short seasons of geophysical survey with a proton magnetometer were carried out at the Menelaion and its environs during the excavation seasons in 1974 and 1975 with a view to locating buried structures or other features in the following areas: close to the Mycenaean site, between this site and the Menelaion shrine, around the Menelaion shrine itself, the North Hill and the Chapel site. This report presents the results of the survey of these areas in 1975 which are shown in FIG. J.1. The geological environment and topography of the Menelaion plateau and environs are described elsewhere in this volume
