  • Abstract
    3D high resolution Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey was performed in the Crypt of the Duomo of Lecce (South Italy), built in 1114. The GPR data revealed us a stratified subsoil in which there is a distribution, with the depth, of several “remains” referable to different epochs. Here we present and discuss the experimental evidences, comparing them with the historical-archaeological documentation. We think that they constitute a valid contribution to the knowledge of the ancient stratigraphy, as well as of the Roman history of Lecce, especially because of many suppositions have not yet found a confirmation.
