Abstract
  • The paper deals with the results of an archaeo-geophysical approach adopted for the study and the reconstruction of the architectural plan of the medieval monastery of San Pietro a Cellaria in Calvello (Basilicata, Southern Italy). The monastery is a remarkable witness of Benedectine architecture of the 12-13th century of Basilicata built by monks of S. Maria di Pulsano Congregation widespread mainly in Southern Italy. The historical data and the diachronic architectural study based on the analysis of building techniques put in evidence a long and intense history during which the monastery was affected by several architectural changes including the demolition of buildings and the superposition of other constructional elements. The only conserved medieval remain is a church with a nave, whereas the adjacent structures are more recent. This suggested a research project to shed new light on the so far unknown history of the medieval monastery. In detail, a multi remote sensing approach including aerial survey by unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), Ground penetrating Radar (GPR) and Geomagnetic in gradiometric configuration (MAG), was adopted around the monastery in order to verify the possible existence of buried masonry structures and other possible features of archaeological interest, including channels and aqueducts. The GPR time slices were constructed from closely spaced parallel profiles. The time slices, computed from averaging radar reflections over vertical time windows several nanoseconds thick, are used to map subsoil features associated with the structures, probably of anthropogenic origin. To facilitate the interpretation of the results, a three-dimensional image was constructed using closely spaced parallel profiles, which are linearly interpolated. The MAG survey was carried in gradiometer configuration, in order to evidence magnetic properties of the shallow subsoil. Ground-penetrating radar gives details about archaeological structures in a limited area where survey was possible. While gradiometer survey confirm GPR results and improve archaeological knowledge in the areas where was impossible perform GPR survey. This multi sensor remote sensing program revealed a wide variety of archaeological features of interest to be targeted accurately in the future with excavations. (literal)
