AIAC_1897 - Porto - 2003
The geophysics work around Trajan’s harbour began in 1998, and has since been completed.
The magnetometry results revealed:
• A plan of the ‘Imperial Palace’ and its associated warehouses
• A series of warehouses fronting the port
• A part of the massive defensive wall circuit
• The port’s major aqueduct, the location of which was previously unknown
• Details of buildings to the southwest of the harbour, surrounding the basilica site and lining the canal which connects the harbour to the Fosse Traiana
• More evidence for land reclaimation and property divisions at the confluence of the Tiber and Fossa Traiana.
