The Tres Tabernae archeological site (Cisterna di Latina, Italy): new evidence revealed through an integrated geophysical investigation

An integrated geophysical investigation at the Tres Tabernae archaeological site, part of the UNESCO-listed Via Appia (Regina Viarum), has uncovered potential buried structures such as walls, floors, and a lead pipe. The study, conducted under the European 'Mercator' project, employed optimized techniques including frequency-domain electromagnetic induction, ground-penetrating radar, and magnetometry to explore the partially excavated site near Latina, Italy. These methods were tailored to detect ancient features while considering their environmental context, revealing new evidence that contributes to understanding this significant statio along the Appian Way.
