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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
