- Abstract
Geophysical technique of 2-D electrical imaging has been used to explore the archaeological features along a part of ancient ViaEgnatia road. With the use of geoelectrical survey, a 200x160m area has been explored using detailed 2-D resistivity measurements. Two tomogaphic profiles 100m long are carried out in order to detect parts of ancient road axis. The main objective ofthe project was the exploration of buried archeological features and the possibility of existence of any segment of ViaEgnatia Road. This work has been carried out in collaboration with histitute ofArchaeology of Albania, where were determined the area under survey. The methodology used, consisted to the resistivity mapping using the Electrical Resistance Tomography (ERT) technique, realizing in this way resistivity mapping in the different depths. Staff of Geophysical Center of Tirana, Albania has collected Geoelectrical data during 2005. Geophysical Department of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, gave the appropriate help in data interpretation.
