The technical report describes the application of non-invasive geophysical methods, Electrical Resistivity (ERT) and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), for reconstructing the buried subsoil geometries of a cultural heritage site in the city of Napoli, characterized by complex environmental conditions. The investigated site is the Fontanelle Cemetery, a cavity network made by chamber and pillars, one of the most fascinating hypogean sites excavated for the exploitation of the Neapolitan Yellow Tuff, whose origin may be traced back in the XVI century. The electromagnetic surveys were finalized to detect the buried subsoil geometry and the real height of the buried pillars.

Abstract
The technical report describes the application of non-invasive geophysical methods, Electrical Resistivity (ERT) and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), for reconstructing the buried subsoil geometries of a cultural heritage site in the city of Napoli, characterized by complex environmental conditions. The investigated site is the Fontanelle Cemetery, a cavity network made by chamber and pillars, one of the most fascinating hypogean sites excavated for the exploitation of the Neapolitan Yellow Tuff, whose origin may be traced back in the XVI century. The electromagnetic surveys were finalized to detect the buried subsoil geometry and the real height of the buried pillars.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
