Abstract
Modern subsurface prospecting makes use of advanced technologies: coring, geophysical methods, and remote sensing. In the framework of this exciting progress, we have developed two integrated instruments for archaeological investigations. GEOSCOPE consists of a coring machine and a probe: the coring machine bores the soil while recording drilling parameters, the probe performs visual inspections and data acquisitions in the hole. GEOLIDAR is a laser range-finder conceived for the volumetric characterization of buried cavities by means of a motor-driven three-dimensional scan. The data are recorded and displayed to the archaeologist by a user-friendly computer interface. This paper describes the two systems, outlines the rationale that guided their conception, discusses the measurement accuracies and reports the first results.
