| Sumario: | This paper focuses on the remote sensing and geophysical approaches to studying the Roman town of Segisamo, located underneath the modern day Sasamón, Burgos. Our research in the area started in 2017, aiming for a better understanding of a complex archaeological landscape in which a native oppidum, the traces of Roman military structures and a Roman town coexisted in minimal geographical space. Despite the effects of the mechanised ploughing or the recent construction of different infrastructures – including a highway –, the area has an enormous potential to implement non invasive method ologies. We will stress the role of aerial photography, the benefits of continuous landscape monitoring, and the creation of cost effective, remote sensing approaches that include external NIR cameras attached to UAVs. The aerial photography results will be combined with the outcome of ongoing geophysical surveys using both Ground Penetrating Radar (henceforth GPR) and magnetometer. |
