Mapping a Roman city with GPR

TECHNOLOGY WATCH: Archaeologists map complete Roman city without lifting a shovel (Brooks Hays, UPI). The name of the city is Falerii Novi. It is a little north of Rome.

For a similar story from a couple of days ago, see here. As with the magnetometry in that one, this GPR technology has wide applications for future archaeology.

Indeed, as I have said before, non-invasive and non-destructive technologies are the future of archaeology. This post in particular is aging well.
