The effectiveness of ground-penetrating radar surveys on the territory of Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra

Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) surveys demonstrate significant effectiveness in exploring the subsurface structures of Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, particularly in the Metropolitan Garden. By analyzing previous archaeological excavations and GPR data, researchers identified key applications for this non-invasive method, which offers valuable insights into the historical layers and architectural features of the site without disturbing the ground. This approach complements traditional excavation methods, providing a more comprehensive understanding of the complex stratigraphy and buried structures within one of Ukraine's most significant cultural heritage sites.
