A geophysical survey and shovel test survey of the northern terrace at Poggio Colla archaeological site, Vicchio, Italy
Abstract
An archaeological survey was conducted during the 2013 excavation season on the northern terrace of the Etruscan site of Poggio Colla, near Vicchio, Italy. This survey included a ground penetrating radar and a magnetometry survey followed by a shovel test pit survey directed by the results of the geoprospection. The shovel test pit survey was then followed up with trench excavation. The survey indicated Etruscan use of the area and a possible tile kiln used coeval with the Phase III structure on the acropolis at the site. In addition the use of these types of geoprospection methods at a site such as Poggio Colla were analyzed for their effectiveness.
