The implementation of a 3D Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT-3D) survey was carried out in El Pahñú archaeological site, Hidalgo State, Central Mexico. A combination of a new ERT arrays allowed studying the subsoil beneath the Main Pyramid built near the edge of a plateau, along with another important structure (the Tecpan), which was a smaller structure that lodged the governmental council in pre-Hispanic times. The recorded information was acquired through the combination of several electrodic designs: L-Corner (LC), Equatorial (Eq), and Minimum Coupling (MC). For the Main Pyramid, the electrodes were set up around the perimeter of the structure, since they were not permitted to be inserted over the edifice, thus preventing damages to the architectonic elements. The second structure allowed inserting electrodes on selected spots within the architectonic space. The combination of the different arrays made possible the acquisition of 1204 apparent resistivities beneath the Main Pyramid and 2460 resistivity data beneath the Tecpan. The apparent resistivity data were inverted to obtain a three dimensional display of the subsoil electrical resistivity beneath the archaeological structure. The interpreted resistivity model under the Main Pyramid displayed a highly resistive structure towards its northern face that could be associated with infill. Such material was employed by the ancient constructors to level the terrain close to the edge of the cliff. Another interesting anomaly was found towards the central portion of the structure that could be associated to a foundation offer. The interpretation of data beneath the Tecpan identified the structural foundations and other interesting anomalies related to the different occupational times. The investigation supported the archaeological investigation of the site, suggesting areas of potential geological risk and of archaeological interest. For example, the Main Pyramid presents serious stability problems, indicating that the infill has weakened, producing cracks threatening long-term pyramid integrity.

Explosive ordnance survey of former military areas illustrated on the example of the Maňávka site (Český Krumlov district). A case study from 2022 illustrates the significance of continuous explosive ordnance surveying in the Maňávka area. The synchronization of historical data with fieldwork and collaboration with experts enhanced the effectiveness of this exploratory sampling survey. Within 57 days of fieldwork, areas suspected of containing explosive ordnance were identified, and their risk level was assessed. This collaboration benefits both safety and expands knowledge of regional history. The identification of the remains of field fortifications also facilitates future archaeological research.

Archaeology in the Soviet Union enjoyed a cozy relationship with the powersthat-be, its funding for rescue archaeology being legally enshrined as a defined share of the budget of all major development projects. Ultimately, this led to something which can only be described as complicity of Soviet archaeology in environmentally destructive development projects of the USSR. The Khorezmian Expedition in Central Asia provides one of the best examples of this link. While there have been in recent years a number of publications dealing with Tsarist and Soviet water projects and engineering in Central Asia, this particular aspect has not so far been the focus of published research even though the enthusiastic (but later increasingly wary) work of archaeologists, historians, ethnographers, and their associated scientists contributed, directly and indirectly, to the disastrous consequences of Soviet water policies in the region. Much of the information used in this paper is derived from Soviet archives which were accessible from the Perestroika years until the early years of the twenty-first century, but have since become practically inaccessible again.

L'antico abitato di Orbetello sorge sull'estremità occidentale di un cordone litoraneo saldato a est alla costa e aperto a ovest in direzione del Monte Argentario, situato al centro di un sistema lagunare definito a nord e a sud dai due tomboli della Giannella e della Feniglia. L'attuale morfologia è dovuta a fenomeni erosivi della costa e a episodi di accrescimento dei sedimenti deltizi che hanno portato allo sviluppo dei tomboli stessi. Le fasi iniziali della formazione di dune sabbiose sembrano collocarsi nel corso dell'età del Bronzo e agli inizi dell'età del Ferro, seguite da una fase di stabilizzazione del paesaggio tra l'Ellenismo e l'epoca rinascimentale 2 . Dal punto di vista archeologico, diversi siti sono noti fin dall'Ottocento, ma le prime indagini sistematiche nell'area della laguna furono avviate solo tra la fine degli anni Sessanta e gli anni Ottanta del secolo scorso 3 , tra le quali si segnalano le ricognizioni condotte

This paper presents the results of a study exploring the potential of magnetic-susceptibility and phosphate soil analyses to locate and characterize buried Neolithic settlements in Thessaly, Greece. Using the preliminary results of large-area magnetometer surveys, soil samples were collected at three well-known sites along exploratory lines and augers targeting the locations of possible features of interest, including habitational structures and enclosures. The results demonstrated the capability of these analyses to detect the sites, outline hotspots and better interpret the features identified in the magnetometer results.

In spring 2022, 120 years after the first excavations, a team from LMU Munich, in collaboration with the University al-Qadissiya (Diwaniyah), carried out excavations in Fāra, ancient Šuruppak. An important result of the short excavation campaign was to confirm that successful research is possible despite the recent heavy destruction. A combination of non-invasive methods (geophysics, survey and aerial photography) and limited, precisely targeted excavations led to the first systematic documentation of ED II and ED IIIa period neighbourhoods and houses, including installations and mobile inventory. The large building in the centre was probably the main temple, which was surrounded by planned streets. Numerous discarded sealings of the ED II period were found in ‘Graben Ide’, where the 1902 excavations had already uncovered many similar ones, and which have long been regarded as diagnostic of the Mesilim period. They now turn out to be remains from a neighbouring building that must have had administrative functions.

In the present study, 2D numerical simulation of flow around a circular cylinder and the effect of plasma actuators to control the flow around it have been investigated. Plasma actuators which have been used include single plasma actuator and Linear Plasma Synthetic Jet Actuator (L-PSJA). In order to numerically simulate the actuators, the linearized force model has been used. In the present work, accuracy of the linearized force model to analysis the plasma actuators behavior and the effect of their position on the point of separation and elimination of the vortices have been investigated. The results show that the simulation of actuators operates qualitatively successful in flow separation using linearized force model (despite of its simplicity). Using of single plasma actuators at angle of ±45 and ±90 degree is the best position of the plasma actuators. The position of the actuators at angel of ±90 degree is recommended, if the lower power consumption of the plasma and at the same time the most influence on the flow is to be considered. Using L-PSJ actuators at angel of ±45 degree is not recommended, due to low influence on the flow and higher power consumption.

In this paper the Multi Relaxation Time Lattice Boltzmann Method in conjunction with the Large Eddy Simulation model was used to study the particle deposition in a room with various diameters (10nm-10µm)and the effect of buoyancy, drag and Brownian forces to particle deposition on the different walls of the room has been investigated. The sub-grid scale turbulence effects were simulated through a shear-improved Smagorinsky model. To simulate the particle deposition in the room, the particle injection process was initiated with 144 particles injected uniformly at the inlet with the same velocity as the airflow at every 0.05s; particle injection was stopped after 30s. Therefore, a total of 86400 particles were injected into the room. The present simulation results for the airflow showed good agreement with the experimental data and the earlier numerical results. The simulated results for particle dispersion and deposition showed that the numbers of deposited particles on the walls increases by augmentation of the time. When the particle injection started the concentration in the inlet jet region is more than other zones and that increases in the region far from the inlet by time. Present results will be interesting for designing air condition systems in the office and hospitals rooms.

2024, Assessment of Groundwater Potential for Rural Water Supply in Misau and Dambam Areas Bauchi State

This study aimed at assessing groundwater potential in Misau and Dambam areas of Bauchi State, Nigeria. Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) survey was also conducted to carry out the study. Five thematic maps were generated for weighted overlay. Descriptive statistics were used to analysed data on water supply situation, aquifer parameters were analysed using a standard table where porosity and permeability were calculated. The VES data was analysed using ipi2win, thematic maps were produced through overlay analysis using the extension of ArcGIS 10.4. VES result reveals the existence of about three to four geologic layers in the study area which constitute the topsoil, weathered rock, weathered/fractured rock, fractured basement, and fresh basement rock. Nine out of the thirteen soundings conducted were found to be of sound in nature while the only non-promising aquifers were found in Jalam Kukadi, Hardawa PHC, Bada Koshi, Dambam A Bam. Five groundwater potential zones were determined which are very low 354 km 2 (15%), low 393 km 2 (15%), moderate 416 km 2 (20%), high 436 km 2 (25%), and very high 497 km 2 (25%). Drainage is the most critical factor affecting groundwater occurrence with 25% which is the highest followed by geology with 22%. It can be concluded that 50% of the study area was characterized under high, and very high groundwater potential. It is recommended that areas with poor groundwater potentials government and non-governmental organizations should provide an alternative source of water to aid them during periods of difficulties.

Kost Castle (Bohemia) is one of the best-preserved Gothic castles in Central Europe. It first appeared in written sources in the 1340s as the seat of Beneš of Kost. On the basis of structural analyses regarding the form of a large residential tower, the first construction phase was believed to be completed in the late 1380s under Petr of Vartenberk. During the archaeological research in 2019–2020, three masonry structures predating the previously known first phase were newly identified – a bergfried, a cylindrical tower and a tower gate. The castle was probably inhabitable in this earliest phase, with a castle chapel documented in written sources and the use of a tile stove confirmed by archaeological finds. All these structures built by Beneš of Kost in the first half of the 14th century completely disappeared during a radical reconstruction initiated by Petr of Vartenberk finished in the late 1380s, when the castle fundamentally changed its appearance to the state that, in its basic features, has survived to the present.

Archaeological excavations in the area of Gortalovo village, Pleven district (Middle Danube Lowland) found a cultural layer dated to 5000-4850 BC-the Late Neolithic period. The main practice of the agricultural and livestock breeding settlement established there was flint tools production. During the archaeological and interdisciplinary geomorphological field work buried sink-holes were found. Karstic landscape was covered with dark clayish soil, which was sampled for further sedimentological analysis. In the paper are presented the results from grain size analysis, which defines the characteristics of the top-layer and some indications of processes responsible for burying the karst features. The results showed that soil layer was developed on a karstified limestone, covered by loess sediments. The soil layer in the area is defined as heavy clayish chernozem and the middle soil profile responds to the filling of the dolines-darker and clayish.

The paper is devoted to the evaluation of a situation unearthed during a rescue excavation on the northern edge of the historical core of the town of Jičín. The excavation exposed the foot of a rampart which formed the town’s outer medieval fortification. The rampart was piled up on a layer dating back to the early foundation horizon. The rampart’s body was partly made of earth mixed with basalt stones. Judging from the finds, the rampart was probably built during the 15th century. Its demise then occurred during the 17th century.

The article presents the results and preliminary considerations of multidisciplinary research conducted at the Monte Altesina site (Nicosia) from 2020. In the first two years of research, the international archaeological mission carried out preliminary studies on archaeological material from previous excavations and preliminary documentation. However, it was from 2022 onwards that the archaeological mission intensified its research activities. The preliminary results are significant and include the identification of frequentation in the higher part of the site during the prehistoric period. Additionally, the extent of the site during the
Greek period has been understood, covering an area of at least eleven hectares and adapting to the geological configuration of the mountain. Furthermore, a late Byzantine/early Islamic settlement phase has been identified, and occupation in the monastery area has been confirmed, at least in the late Middle Ages. Geophysical prospections have revealed anomalies within three metres of the current ground level. Ethnographic investigations have provided valuable data for studying oral traditions related to the mountain’s antiquities. The research activities have enabled significant progress in the historical and cultural understanding of the site
throughout the different millennia. This confirms the importance of the historical-archaeological heritage of Altesina in the context of central Sicily over time.

2024, Geofyzikální průzkum starých důlních děl

souvislosti se zanikající těžbou a rozšiřující se zástavbou se společnost čím dál častěji dostává do situace, kdy je nezbytné sanovat území poddolovaná starými důlními díly. V tomto ohledu je za účelem předstihového průzkumu výhodné používat geofyzikální metody, jejichž přednosti spočívají zejména v nedestruktivním charakteru a relativní cenové dostupnosti terénních prací. Speciální význam má vzhledem k povaze důlních struktur v průzkumu tohoto druhu georadar (GPR). Tato bakalářská práce si klade za cíl prozkoumat stav vybraných důlních prostor na hranici katastrů Lužice/Mikulčice-Těšice pomocí metody GPR. V okolí Lužic bylo od přelomu tisíciletí provedeno více než 30 geofyzikálních průzkumů zaměřujících se na stav poddolování v intravilánu obce a v okolí starých ropných sond (vrtů). Pro účely této bakalářské práce byla na základě dostupné důlní dokumentace a s využitím stínovaného modelu reliéfu (DMR5G) zvolena zájmová oblast mezi několika poddolovanými úseky. Tato oblast byla proměřena v pěti georadarových profilech, které byly vedeny vždy tak, aby zčásti prošly přes poddolovaný a zčásti přes těžbou neovlivněný úsek. Výsledkem se stalo srovnání projevu georadarového signálu nad těmito dvěma typy terénních situací. V konečném důsledku bylo zhodnoceno, do jaké míry je kombinace důlní dokumentace a DMR5G spolehlivá při plánování geofyzikálního průzkumu, případně sanačních prací.

Floodplain wetlands are complex systems influenced by many natural and anthropogenic operators. Due to the influence of high and varying groundwater table and high organic contents, geophysical prospection in wetland floodplains quickly reaches the limits of its effectiveness. At the Early Medieval canal Fossa Carolina in southwest Germany, a study design employing magnetometry, drillings, sampling, and in situ rock magnetic measurements was used for environmental magnetic interpretation of magnetic anomalies in magnetograms and sediment layers. This approach offers reliable archaeological interpretation of magnetic anomalies and magnetic properties under the site specific sedimentological conditions of a floodplain wetland. It was also found that man-made magnetic anomalies in the floodplain are due to the genesis of different remanent magnetizationsspecifically, greigite (Fe 3 S 4) can cause distinct magnetic anomalies in floodplains that can be recognized readily in surface magnetic data.

Archaeological research relies on the documentation and analysis of archaeological entities in space and time, i.e. the stratigraphic ordering of these units, resulting in a stratigraphic sequence. A GIS-based Archaeological Information System (AIS) organises archaeological entities and associated attributable information according to its specific three-dimensional geographical position based on the framework provided by a Geographical Information System (GIS). To compile a stratigraphic sequence of these entities located in space, the GIS-based AIS must be ex-tended by a fourth dimension – time. The paper presents the associated extension of ArcGIS (ESRI) by a stratigraphic sequence composer with an integrated interval-based time model as the basic digital environment for spatio-temporal analysis of archaeological excavation datasets. The long-term excavation at Tell el-Daba, Egypt was chosen as a case study to evaluate the applicability of various digital analysis tools using a geo-referenced 4D AIS on non-digital and incomplete excavation datasets. As most existing archaeological excavation datasets are based upon long-term incon-sistent and analogue data, it is crucial to integrate and handle such data to ensure their accessibility for state-of-the-art archaeological spatio-temporal data analysis.

Many different countries use geophysical technologies in their archaeological research. In the study area (Menofia, Egypt), we employed magnetic and ground-penetrating radar techniques. In the southern part of Egypt's northern Delta, between the Nile Rashid and Damietta branches, is the Menofia Governorate. Tal-El Bendariya was chosen as the study location since the majority of its activity ended during the Roman era. For the magnetic survey, Tal-El Bendariya was separated into three locations (sites), and one suitable site was chosen for the GPR study. Using Geoplot, Reflexw, and Surfer software, the magnetic data and GPR data were corrected processed, and interpreted to produce images that depicted the underground artifacts that were present in the area. The magnetic data at Tal-El Bendariya revealed a significant number of anomalies with a variety of unusual geometric patterns. They are interpreted to be the location of historical hearths and kilns made of firebricks as well as fragments of ancient walls made of fire and mud bricks. The findings from the GPR data, meanwhile, point to a few scattered parts of mud brick walls. It was established that the research region at Tal-El Bendariya might have been an area of an ancient pottery industry during the Roman era after integrating the magnetic and GPR results.

2024, Bericht der bayerischen Bodendenkmalpflege 64

In den letzten Jahren rückten in der Denkmalpflege immer mehr auch neuzeitliche Bodendenkmäler in den Vordergrund. Zu diesen zählen unter anderen die vielen Spuren der Opferorte der NS-Zeit, von denen heute obertägig zumeist nichts mehr erkennbar ist. Im Boden jedoch haben sich durchaus relevante Spuren hiervon erhalten. Gerade bei solch sensiblen Denkmälern stellen die zerstörungsfreien Verfahren der Fernerkundung und geophysikalischen Prospektion ein wichtiges Instrument dar, um diese Befunde zu dokumentieren, zu kartieren und der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich zu machen. So bleiben diese Objekte auch für kommende Generationen ungestört im Boden erhalten und es wird nichtsdestotrotz ein wichtiger Beitrag für die Konfliktlandschaftsforschung geleistet. Beispiele für entsprechende Untersuchungen an Opferorten sind für Bayern aus Flossenbürg (Linck u. a. 2010), Bad Aibling (Linck/Abando-witz 2019b), Kaufering (Linck/Abandowitz 2019a), dem Mühldorfer Hart (Linck u. a. 2020) und Grafenreuth (Linck u. a. 2022a) publiziert. In anderen Bundesländern wurde beispielsweise ein Gefangenenlager im Aschendorfermoor (Niedersachsen) mittels Geophysik untersucht (Stele u. a. 2020). Auch aus dem eher den Täterorten zuzuordnenden Bereich gibt es mittlerweile einige Publikationen, wie zu Splitterschutzgräben in München-Sendling (Linck u. a. 2021), dem Flugplatz Ganacker (Stele u. a. 2022) oder einer Flakscheinwerferstellung bei Garatshausen (Linck u. a. 2022b). Im Rahmen dieses Beitrages soll eine interdisziplinäre Untersuchung einen detaillierten Einblick in die erhaltene Bausubstanz eines KZ-Außenlagers bei Landsberg am Lech geben. Dazu werden Daten aus unterschiedlichen Quellen wie Alliiertenluftbilder, Laserscanning-Geländemodelle, Bodenradarmessungen sowie fotogrammetrische Bauteilaufnahmen miteinander kombiniert.

During 2006 and 2007, resistivity surveys were conducted at the Magura Uroiului archaeological site. The purpose of these surveys was to conduct non-destructive research to confirm or deny the presence and extent of subsurface structures. In combination with topographic mapping, traditional excavation profiles and GIS software, this data was used to produce simple reconstructions of the site (both in 3D and in plan view maps). This paper gives an overview of the history of this site, the methodology used in this study, and the results of the surveys.
