Abstract :
In 2000 a new phase of archaeological field activities started on the abandoned city site of Mariana, located south of Bastia (NE-Corsica). Within the on-going international research project “Projet Collectif de Recherche: Mariana et la vallée du Golo” a joint team of the Universities of Cassino (I) and Gent (B) studies the topography of the ancient city in a diachronic framework. In this paper we will investigate the crucial role of GPR prospections integrated in a whole set of more traditional methods of non-invasive city survey and stratigraphic excavations.
