“…In recent years, a growing number of Roman towns and military camps have been investigated with mechanically non-destructive methods to large extents [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. Among those, Carnuntum [15,18,21,25,32,33], Falerii Novi [14,30,34], and Portus [16,20,27,28] can be mentioned as three prominent examples. Although many of these Roman towns were researched through a combined terrestrial geophysics-airborne imaging approach, the Bassianae area is unique in its uniformness and emptiness.…”

Integrating Geophysical and Photographic Data to Visualize the Quarried Structures of the Roman Town of Bassianae

Large parts of the urban layout of the abandoned Roman town of Bassianae (in present-day Serbia) are still discernible on the surface today due to the deliberate and targeted quarrying of the Roman foundations. In 2014, all of the town's intramural (and some extramural) areas were surveyed using aerial photography, ground-penetrating radar, and magnetometry to analyze the site's topography and to map remaining buried structures. The surveys showed a strong agreement between the digital surface model derived from the aerial photographs and the geophysical prospection data. However, many structures could only be detected by one method, underlining the benefits of a complementary archaeological prospection approach using multiple methods. This article presents the results of the extensive surveys and their comprehensive integrative interpretation, discussing Bassianae's ground plan and urban infrastructure. Starting with an overview of this Roman town's research history, we present the details of the triple prospection approach, followed by the processing, integrative analysis, and interpretation of the acquired data sets. Finally, this newly gained information is contrasted with a plan of Roman Bassianae compiled in 1935.

“…This discovery and the related international awareness finally invoked the large-scale non-invasive integrated 'ArchPro Carnuntum' project (http://lbi-archpro.org/cs/carnuntum/, accessed on 31 August 2021) funded by the Lower Austrian Provincial Government and carried out by the LBI ArchPro and its partners with the challenging goal to map the entire landscape surrounding the ancient site of Carnuntum within a time frame of three years. Novel, motorized measurement devices for rapid, high-resolution magnetometer and GPR prospection were designed and developed [18,19]. Together with the integration of automated positioning systems as well as new data processing and visualization techniques, highly efficient archaeological prospection systems [17] (Figure 4) were made available for the detailed geophysical survey of the truly vast areas (see Figure 3).…”

The Seat of the Roman Governor at Carnuntum (Pannonia superior)

The Roman site of Carnuntum was once a flourishing center on the frontiers of the Roman Empire. In its heyday as the capital of the province of Pannonia superior, Carnuntum probably covered an area of almost 9 km². The whole site was divided into a military settlement (castra and canabae legionis) and a civil town (municipium/colonia). Through a large-scale archaeological prospection project, this huge area could be investigated and analyzed in great detail using a wide variety of nondestructive prospection methods. One of the main discoveries of the project was observed in the military settlement, where it was possible to identify a previously unknown military camp, interpreted as the garrison of the governor’s guard, the castra singularium. Through the topographic analysis of the immediate surroundings, the Roman fort was determined to be embedded in a large administrative complex related to the governor’s seat in Carnuntum. This article presents these new discoveries and shows what an important part they formed in the administration of the Roman province of Upper Pannonia.

“…At the same time, substantial new information on buried remains has been generated for the investigated study areas. The archaeological prospection case study Uppåkra is part of a number of extensive studies that have been conducted by the LBI ArchPro since 2010 with its partners, mapping in Sweden the UNESCO World Heritage Site Birka‐Hovgården (Trinks, Neubauer, et al, 2013), in the United Kingdom through The Stonehenge Hidden Landscapes Project (Gaffney et al, 2018), in Austria through the ArchPro Carnuntum Project (Neubauer et al, 2018) among others, in Norway (Draganits et al, 2014) and in Germany (Kastowsky‐Priglinger et al, 2013). The LBI ArchPro approach involves remote sensing in form of aerial photography, airborne laser scanning, airborne hyperspectral scanning, ground‐based near‐surface geophysical prospection using extensive motorised magnetometry and ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) measurements, as well as the integrated archaeological interpretation of the data, generated in huge quantities.…”

In the framework of an archaeological prospection case study conducted at the Swedish Iron Age site of Uppåkra near Lund, a large number of anomalies caused by buried archaeological remains were detected using extensive magnetic surveys.Written sources report that the Swedish army under Field marshal Gustav Horn had established a camp near the village of Uppåkra in autumn 1644, awaiting the approaching Danish army. Magnetic anomalies of two large, square structures, numerous pits and several pit alignments have been interpreted as possible traces of buried remains of this army camp. We present archaeological prospection data from Uppåkra with regard to the events that took place during Horn's war in 1644.
