Kenchreai Quarry Landscapes 2013-2016: Geophysical survey 2016
Geophysical investigation, using magnetometry and ground-penetrating radar, of specific targets. In 2016 magnetometry and ground penetrating radar survey were targeted in areas where study of the 2013 finds indicated concentrations of interest, successfully identifying subsurface features. Given the relatively low-lying study area, the magnetic signal was unexpectedly obscured in several places by the effects of lightning, marked by yellow crosses on the plan. Possible rock edges were identified north of the quarried ridge. At the east end of the Ploughed Field, a shallow linear feature may be a ditch, while at its west end, a probable buried quarry face was identified parallel to faces visible immediately to the south. Features in the same area trending approximately parallel and perpendicular to the visible quarry faces at 0.24m and 0.8m depth correspond to the locations of building materials recovered in 2013. Additional data processing is required to determine whether these represent the remains of built structures and/or quarry faces.
Active from 2015 to 2016.
