Location:
The Roman city of Munigua is located on an area of about 4 ha and is hidden in the
oak woods of the Sierra Morena, north of Sevilla. The town's silhouette is mostly
dominated by the impressive terrace sanctuary in the centre.

Targets:
GPR measurements ought to be used to resolve the course of the city wall of Munigua.
Additionally, buildings lying outside the city wall should be localised and investigated.

|
Operations and results:
|
|
 |
Six areas were defined in the course of the city wall and were investigated with a
SIR-2 device and a 500-MHz-aerial. The radar measurements yielded important facts
about the building history of the city wall and neighbouring buildings. At a distance
of about 1 km from the actual urban area two additional areas were surveyed where
remnants of buildings were assumed; this was confirmed by the measurements.

|
 |
The GPR data of a Roman house were used by the architect Christophe Barlieb
(www.barlieb.com) for a 3D-reconstruction.
Available in a CAD file format this can provide a basis for planning excavations or conservation tasks.
