Introduction
The Frequency Domain Electromagnetic Induction (FD – EMI) method is a widely used geophysical technique, with applications to many fields (Guillemoteau et al., 2023) including archaeological prospection. However, the use of the FD – EMI technique for the mapping of archaeological targets in shallow marine environments has been almost non-existent until very recently (Simon et al., 2021). This work presents the results of a multi-instrument experiment that was conducted on a known submerged archaeological target. The purpose was to assess the effectiveness of the method in shallow marine environments, and establish a methodology concerning optimum strategies for data acquisition and processing.
Ancient Ierapidna (modern Ierapetra) in southeast Crete (Greece) was one of the most important harbours of the Eastern Mediterranean during the Roman period, when it reached its p...
