“…Many authors have used seismic methods in near-surface geophysical studies (Benson and Mustoe, 1995;Sloan et al, 2007;Leucci et al, 2007b) with promising results (Murdie et al, 2003). Seismic reflections or refractions are related to changes in density and elastic parameters in the medium.…”

“…For seismic refraction tomography data processing and interpretation the software Reflexw 6.0, developed by Sandmeier [22] was used. The data processing flow is shown in Figure 11 [30]. The first step in the refraction tomography data processing was the travel times picking, consisting in the measure of first arrivals of seismic wave (Figure 12a).…”

Abstract:The southern part of the Apulia region (the Salento peninsula) has been the site of at least fifteen collapse events due to sinkholes in the last twenty years. The majority of these occurred in "soft" carbonate rocks (calcarenites). Man-made and/or natural cavities are sometimes assets of historical and archaeological significance. This paper provides a methodology for the evaluation of sinkhole hazard in "soft" carbonate rocks, combining seismic and mine engineering methods. A case study of a natural cavity which is called Grotta delle Veneri is illustrated. For this example the approach was: i) 2D and 3D seismic methods to study the physical-mechanical characteristics of the rock mass that constitutes the roof of the cave; and ii) scaled span empirical analysis in order to evaluate the instability of the crown pillar's caves.

“…However, in recent years seismic refraction methodologies have been employed to locate buried structures in a variety of archaeological conditions (Domenico et al, 2006;Benjumea et al, 2001;Xia et al, 2002;Leucci et al, 2007;Valenta and Dohnal, 2007). In our experience, the application of the seismic refraction tomography has yielded successful results due to the high contrast between stonewalls and infill layers of the Prehispanic Tlatels.…”

“…The application of geophysical techniques has become more accessible since the development of new portable technologies; their use in modern archaeology includes magnetometry, electrical resistivity tomography, ground penetrating radar (GPR) and more recently seismic refraction tomography (SRT) (e.g. Chavez et al, 2001;De Domenico et al, 2006;Leucci, 2003;Leucci et al, 2007). In this work we describe a methodology to characterize subsurface structures applying nondestructive techniques which allow to identify shallow natural and/or man-made structures providing useful information for archaeological studies and urban development.…”
