Amphipolis: Geophysical Scan Shows That Human Interventions Are “Minor”

Good news. human intervention has be rather limited according to the results of a geophysical scan of Kasta Hill where Amphipolis is located, the Ministry of Culture said on Monday.

In announcement, the Ministry explained that the team of scientists primarily used electrical tomography techniques – and to a lesser degree a ground penetrating radar (GPR) – in order to examine human intervention on the hill.

And as suspected, (and continually pointed out by HellasFrappe), the man-made embankment is only a minor portion of the hill.

The geophysical survey and mapping of Kasta Hill began on November  11th and was carried out whenever the weather conditions were favorable.

The Ministry also said that the scientific team expects that the scan will highlight areas of interest for future archaeological digs.
