Campanaio, Sicily:
A Geophysical Survey 1995

A short programme of Geophysical evaluation in southern Sicily has helped to identify industrial activity in the Roman rural settlement at località Campanaio in the Comune of Montallegro (AG) Sicily, Italy. The survey was commissioned by Professor Roger Wilson of Nottingham University and undertaken under the aegis of the Soprintendenza per I Beni Culturali e Ambientali of Agrigento.

The evaluation hoped to discover something of the extent and location of structural elements within the settlement, both as a method of quantifying the settlement area, and as a strategic method of informing excavation site location. To achieve these goals, the survey attempted to utilise instrumentation and techniques which have become standard practice for geoprospection in Britain (Geoscan RM15 Resistivity meter and Geoscan FM36 Gradiometer)
