'Archeoegadi': A GIS for the marine archaeological survey in the Egadi islands

摘要

An important step in successfully locating an archaeological target is the definition of the search box. Then, the establishment of a target area involves aggregation and comparison of information from multiple sources. 'ArcheoEgadi' was a feasibility study to verify the application of geophysical and magnetic equipment and.GIS system in marine archaeology. The main results of 'ArcheoEgadi' were a detailed map of the sea bottom and help setting up the equipment parameters for detecting operations on archaeological sites hidden by sediments and marine flora on the sea bottom. In particular, a relevant result was the discovery of the wreck of an 11 th-century Arabian vessel.
