Abstract

Ground-penetrating radar mapping allows for a three-dimensional analysis of archaeological features within the context of landscape studies. The method's ability to measure the intensity of radar reflections from deep in the ground can produce images and maps of buried features not visible on the surface. A study was conducted in some areas near the Domus Romana in Rabat (Malta) in order to investigate about the buried archaeological structures. The ground-penetrating radar analysis showed them to be anomalies likely associated to archaeological remains.
