Season

    • In April 2000 a geophysical survey was undertaken by the British School at Rome, on behalf of Dr. Janet DeLaine of the University of Reading, behind the _Insula_ of the Paintings at Ostia Antica. The resistivity survey was successful in locating archaeological structures related to the extant remains of the _Insula_ of the Paintings. Although the degree of interpretation possible was restricted by the small area of the survey and the complex nature of the target features, a series of rooms and corridors, and other features relating to the _Insula_ were discernable.
