An integrated geophysical survey using land magnetic and ground penetrating radar (GPR) methods was conducted to investigate the archaeological findings and ancient cultural relics at an undiscovered 100 m × 60 m in Tal-Baltus in El-Sadat city, Menofia Governorate, Egypt. The study area at Tal-Baltus was chosen among several archaeological hills in the Menofia governorate due to its archaeological significance in the Greco-Roman history of Egypt. The total area was first surveyed using the magnetic method, and then two small promising sites within this area were selected for the GPR survey. The obtained magnetic results showed the presence of remarkably high anomalies with different shapes of irregular geometry. Therefore, they are interpreted as ruins of old storage rooms related to an ancient harbor-shaped structure. Besides, numerous scattered pillars and column heads were also delineated and matched with remains of granite blocks in abundance in the study area, taking the same trend as the delineated magnetic anomalies. In addition, the GPR results highlighted several hyperbolas with variable amplitudes and sizes, which have been interpreted as the shallow foundation of a potential ancient harbor made of limestone. The comprehensive interpretation of the integrated magnetic and GPR surveys strongly suggests that the study area may be a part of an ancient harbor in addition to some other ancillary room-shaped structures used for cargo storage purposes and scattered portions of walls and pillars dating back to the Greco-Roman era.

在埃及梅诺菲亚省塔尔-巴尔图斯使用磁力和探地雷达调查进行考古地球物理调查

采用地磁和探地雷达(GPR)方法进行综合地球物理调查,对埃及梅诺菲亚省埃尔萨达特市塔尔巴尔图斯未发现的100 m×60 m的考古发现和古代文物进行调查。由于塔尔-巴尔图斯在埃及希腊罗马历史上的考古意义,该研究区被选在梅诺菲亚省的几座考古山中。首先使用磁力法对整个区域进行了勘测,然后在该区域内选择了两个有希望的小地点进行探地雷达勘测。获得的磁结果显示存在具有不同形状的不规则几何形状的非常高的异常。因此,它们被解释为与古代港口形状的结构有关的旧储藏室的废墟。除了,研究区还圈定出大量分散的柱体和柱头,并与研究区大量的花岗岩块遗迹相匹配,与圈定的磁异常趋势相同。此外,探地雷达结果突出显示了几条幅度和大小各异的双曲线,这些双曲线被解释为潜在的石灰岩古代港口的浅基础。对综合磁力和探地雷达勘测的综合解释强烈表明,除了一些用于货物储存目的的其他辅助室状结构以及可追溯到公元前的墙壁和柱子的分散部分之外,研究区域可能是古代港口的一部分。希腊罗马时代。呈现与描绘的磁异常相同的趋势。此外,探地雷达结果突出显示了几条幅度和大小各异的双曲线,这些双曲线被解释为潜在的石灰岩古代港口的浅基础。对综合磁力和探地雷达勘测的综合解释强烈表明,除了一些用于货物储存目的的其他辅助室状结构以及可追溯到公元前的墙壁和柱子的分散部分之外,研究区域可能是古代港口的一部分。希腊罗马时代。呈现与描绘的磁异常相同的趋势。此外,探地雷达结果突出显示了几条幅度和大小各异的双曲线,这些双曲线被解释为潜在的石灰岩古代港口的浅基础。对综合磁力和探地雷达勘测的综合解释强烈表明,除了一些用于货物储存目的的其他辅助室状结构以及可追溯到公元前的墙壁和柱子的分散部分之外,研究区域可能是古代港口的一部分。希腊罗马时代。
