Abstract
  • The paper presents the results of an on-going study of the Roman town and early medieval bishopric of Forum Novum at Vescovio in the middle Tiber valley to the north of Rome. The work forms part of the British School at Rome's Tiber Valley Project, which studies the changing landscapes of the middle Tiber valley as the hinterland of Romet hrough two millennia, from 1000 BC to AD 1000. At Forum Novum a range of remote sensing techniques are being combined with excavation to examine the extent and organization of a Roman town and its development through time. From 1997 to 2001 a series of topographic and high-resolution ground-based remote sensing surveys took place at Forum Novum, which provide a basic map of the ancient centre. The integrated remote sensing surveys were carried out using the magnetic, geoelectric and ground-penetrating radar (GPR) methods. The analysis of the gradiometric, resistivity and GPR time-slice maps indicate that many structural foundations and walls of the buildings are still well preserved below the surface. The results, which are presented and discussed in this paper, demonstrate the potential of remote sensing techniques for our understanding of the extent and organization of urban centres. In the case of Forum Novum, where much of the ancient centre lies under modern structures, GPR survey, in particular, proved fundamental. Further, the results of the georadar surveys permitted archaeologists to select key areas of the town for more detailed investigation through excavation. (literal)
