Abstract

This paper reports the main activities planned within the context of the ArchaeoTrack research project. The project aims at creating a new ground-penetrating radar (GPR)-based methodology producing information for use of communities and local administrations within a preventive archaeology perspective. To this aim, the project provides i) identification of the most suitable GPR system for archaeological prospections, ii) development of a virtual “buried” museum and iii) data storage and visualisation in a freeware dissemination digital platform. An overview of GPR applications in archaeology is reported, followed by a description of the main structure of the project and the expected results.
