Abstract
Visualizing antique structures is essential in archaeological research. Most visual reconstructions are based on measured, modeled and displayed excavated building structures. However, in various excavations subsurface structures are not accessible. One suitable method which allows investigation of those structures is geoelectric. Subsurface materials show different resistivity values. Thus, the type of underground material can be derived from geoelectrical measurements. In this paper we describe an implemented workflow about identifying, capturing, analyzing and visualizing belowground ancient structures. Application case is an excavation of the sanctuary of Diana in Nemi, Italy.
