GEOPHYSICAL INVESTIGATIONS AND UNDERWATER ARCHAEOLOGY: THE DEBATED CASE OF AMALFI SOMMERSA (AMALFI COAST, SOUTHERN ITALY) (original) (raw)

AI-generated Abstract

Investigations involving high-resolution marine geophysical techniques were conducted in the Amalfi port, southern Italy, focusing on the submerged structures presumed to be remnants of the medieval Amalfi port, described historically as Amalfi Sommersa. Through seismic reflection, swath bathymetry, and sediment analyses, the study identifies various submerged artifacts, including a significant structure interpreted as a medieval pier, and provides insights into the geological and archaeological context. These findings contribute to understanding the impact of historical sea storm events and their consequences on submerged archaeological contexts.
