A Multi-Methodological Approach for Archaeology

The comparison between so many studies groups will cause a quite long temperai development, but
fmally it will allow to obtain a twofold goal: first to bring to light Pope Alexander IV tomb and then,
more importantly from thè scientifìc point of view, put compared, in a single site, 9 geophysical
different methods, non-invasive and non-destructive and 15 different instruments, therefore the data will be very important in various fields, historical, archaeological, geological and architecrural.
The techniques compared in thè "research project of Pope Alexander IV tomb" will be: Ground
Penetrating Radar (GPR), IDEM - Method in Time Domain Electromagnetic (EM61 - Metal Detector
High Resolution), EM31 (FDEM) Electromagnetic Method in thè frequency domain, Electrical
Tomography (ERT), Microgravimetric Method, Sonic Tests, Survey Seismic Tomography,
Magnetometric Methods.The first results are beginning to emerge and by analyzing the methodologies separately and comparing the results obtained with the different techniques.
