The complex bedrock structure at the Manfredi Castle (Supersano, Lecce)

• Abstract:

  Reflection seismic, GPR and penetrometer surveys, were performed at the Manfredi Castle (Supersano, Lecce, Italy) in order to help the engineers in the restoration work. The study tries to understand: 1) whether, using high-resolution reflection seismic data, is possible to provide an essentially continuous structural image of the shallow subsurface; 2) to reconstruct, using both seismic and penetrometer surveys, the bedrock surface below the castle; 3) to discover, using GPR data, the presence of features of archaeological interest. From a technical perspective, the survey was successful. The reflection seismic data effectively image the shallow subsurface and support the penetrometer data. The GPR data pointed out the presence of some man-made structures that could be of archaeological interest.
