AIAC_2211 - Casale di Teverolaccio - 2009The work was carried out at the request of Ing. Salvatore Constanzo of the Comune di Sant’Arpino in association with the Soprintendenza per i beni archeologici di Caserta e Benevento, in particular Dott.ssa Elena Laforgia who wished to undertake a geophysical survey for investigating the archaeological potential of the site. It was undertaken by a joint team from the Archaeological Prospection Services of Southampton (APSS) and the British School at Rome. The survey was carried out to determine the potential for archaeological remains on a site due for development. To increase the potential for a variety of archaeological remains being detected, it was decided to integrate both a magnetometer and resistivity survey. The integration of both geophysical techniques on this small site has proved to be extremely useful both in terms of defining different buried features and providing more information as to the nature of the remains appearing in both surveys. The most important feature identified in both surveys lies in the central section of the survey area. The linear anomalies clearly trace the standing remains of the boundary wall associated with the market area of the Casale. Interestingly, each technique detected the smaller walls adjoining the main boundary but in different areas along the course of the wall. Although this wall can be seen exposed in part in the field, the combination of both geophysical methodologies has expanded our understanding as to the form and layout of the surviving archaeological remains. Apart from the main boundary wall, no other features of archaeological potential are apparent in the rest of the survey.

Il lavoro è stato svolto su richiesta dell’Ing. Salvatore Constanzo del Comune di Sant’Arpino in associazione con la Soprintendenza per i Beni Archeologici di Caserta e Benevento, in particolare con la Dott.ssa Elena Laforgia, che ha voluto l’indagine geofisica al fine di verificare il potenziale archeologico del sito. L’indagine è stata condotta da un team congiunto dell’Archaeological Prospection Services di Southampton (APSS) e della British School at Rome. Per aumentare le possibilità di rinvenire resti archeologici si è deciso di integrare la magnetometria con la resistività.
L’integrazione delle due tecniche geofisiche su questo piccolo sito si è dimostrata essere estremamente utile sia nel delineare varie strutture sepolte sia nel fornire maggiori informazioni dal momento che i resti apparivano in entrambe le ricognizioni.
La struttura più importante identificata in entrambe le indagini si trova nella sezione centrale dell’area di ricognizione. Le anomalie lineari tracciano chiaramente i resti di un muro perimetrale associato all’area commerciale del Casale. E’ interessante che ognuna delle tecniche ha rivelato la presenza di muri trasversali collegati al muro perimetrale ma in punti diversi. Benché tale muro possa essere visto parzialmente esposto nel campo, la combinazione di entrambi i metodi ha aumentato la nostra comprensione sulla forma e la planimetria dei resti archeologici.
A parte il muro di confine, il resto della survey non ha rivelato altri resti archeologici. - Summary Author
