Archaeology
Archaeological risk assessment for COEMI / Plenitude.
A multisensor survey covered 23,000 m² and reduced the required archaeological test trenches from 20 to 5.
20 → 5Required test trenches
Explore the case study Archaeological Geophysical Surveys
Understand what lies beneath.
Before excavation.
Non-invasive geophysical surveys and DeepGeo.AI identify potential archaeological evidence before excavation.
They support preventive archaeological interest assessment (VPIA) without replacing required procedures.
02 / THE RISK
Understand the subsurface before excavation.
Previously unknown evidence can affect excavation and planning.
- 01
Incomplete information before excavation
- 02
Unfocused further investigation
- 03
Programme impacts
03 / THE PROCESS
Non-invasive geophysical surveys.
- 01
Non-invasive acquisition
Ground or airborne survey with suitable sensors.
- 02
AI interpretation
Filtering and interpretation of relevant signals.
- 03
Reconstruction
Evidence georeferenced within the site context.
- 04
Technical output
Maps and documentation for further investigation.
04 / DEEPGEO.AI
GPR, magnetometry and data interpretation.
DeepGeo.AI interprets geometry and anomalies, helping identify areas for further investigation.
Actual project site; illustrative 3D process reconstruction based on reference geophysical data. Alternative A2–A5 classifications are illustrative examples.
05 / OUTPUT
Georeferenced outputs for design.
- 01
Georeferenced map
Location of relevant anomalies and evidence.
- 02
Reconstruction and depth
Geometry and depth where technically available.
- 03
Technical report
Structured documentation supporting assessment.
06 / OPERATIONAL VALUE
Pre-Construction and Planning Support
- 01
More targeted further investigation
- 02
Design decisions based on more complete information
- 03
Checks focused on potentially relevant areas
- 04
Less exposure to unexpected discoveries during excavation
07 / CASE STUDY
Infrastructure and Renewable Energy Projects
Non-invasive multisensor analysis and DeepGeo.AI mapped anomalies across 23,000 m².
The result relates to this project. The Executive Summary documents the case on pages 11–12.
