This paper presents preliminary results from non-invasive geophysical surveys conducted in the urban area of Tyndaris and at the archaeological site of Gioiosa Guardia. The primary goal was to collect data guiding future archaeological investigations and to verify the continuity of known structures. A 500 MHz Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), specially designed for high-resolution surveys in archaeological contexts, was used to detect buried features at depths of approximately two meters. Following a pseudo-grid survey design, data were processed (timezero correction, background removal, band-pass filtering, diffraction-stack migration) to generate vertical radargrams as well as 2D and 3D maps.

Abstract
This paper presents preliminary results from non-invasive geophysical surveys conducted in the urban area of Tyndaris and at the archaeological site of Gioiosa Guardia. The primary goal was to collect data guiding future archaeological investigations and to verify the continuity of known structures. A 500 MHz Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), specially designed for high-resolution surveys in archaeological contexts, was used to detect buried features at depths of approximately two meters. Following a pseudo-grid survey design, data were processed (timezero correction, background removal, band-pass filtering, diffraction-stack migration) to generate vertical radargrams as well as 2D and 3D maps.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
