Abstract

The Messapian city walls in Ugento (Puglia, in south Italy) are of great archaeological importance and some sections are still visible. In order to locate a stretch of the city walls , a non destructive geophysical prospection was performed, applying the electromagnetic method. The survey was carried out in a perip heral area of Ugento, near a visible section of the city walls The analysis and interpretation of the measured electromagnetic data specifically in this work, the quadrature phase component) revealed a clear anomaly that could be ascribed to the city w al ls; in fact, it is aligned with the adjacent section of the visible walls.
