Description
Summary:A comprehensive geophysical survey, combining magnetic gradiometry and ground-penetrating radar (GPR), was undertaken at the Roman fort of <i>Aquis Querquennis</i> to map buried archaeological structures, including potential walls and internal divisions, within its unexcavated areas. This research significantly enhances the understanding of the fort’s previously incomplete layout. The synergistic integration of geophysical data provides detailed spatial data of the buried archaeology, facilitating informed dissemination of the site’s historical significance and guiding the planning of future archaeological investigations.
