Case history : a magnetic and GPR prospection on a Roman rural villa in western Piedmont (Italy )
To explore an archaeological site in western Piedmont we proceed to a multimethod survey using fast methods and taking
also into account the information achievable after a 2D or 3D data processing and/or rendering.
This choice restricted the methodologies to magnetic and GPR prospecting. The non contact
resistance imaging, in our opinion, still gives too smeared results even if indicative of resistivity
anomalies. We selected the magnetic prospecting because of the remarkable size of some of
the walls actually excavated even if, as we explain in the geological context, the probability of
collecting a significant amount of noise was high
