Abstract

The paper presents recent examples of application of near-surface geophysical techniques, such as Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT), in order to show their effectiveness in reconstructing buried subsoil in historical site located in Naples, the Fontanelle Cemetery. In fact, such non-invasive methods can assist the geotechnical engineers in the detection of complex subsoil conditions when cultural heritage needs to be preserved and penetrating investigation tools (such as boreholes) must be avoided or, at least, their impact reduced to the minimum.
