Abstract
In this work Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) results achieved in the archaeological site of Ancient Falasarna Harbour in Western Crete (Greece), are presented. The survey has been performed in a site only slightly explored up to now and where has been covered by the tsunami deposits created by the AD 365 earthquake event with magnitude 8.3 located offshore of western Crete. This Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) measurement campaign aimed to identify possible points where future localized excavation might and hopefully will be performed in the next few years. Based on the GPR findings, archaeological excavation works will be carried out in the region where the anthropogenic remains were estimated to be. This case study demonstrates and further corroborates the effectiveness and reliability of GPR for the non-invasive prospection of archaeological structures hidden in heterogeneous subsurface geoenvironment.
