2022 season has proven to be productive - important discoveries through geophysics

Following a lengthy cleaning work on the Mound, the application of different geophysical methods in certain sectors at Hacimusalar Mound has proven most productive.

We identified three critical sectors and in 2022 season, ground penetrating radar (GPR) and magnetic method were applied in these sectors. The first sector was the South Slope where Hellenistic/Roman walls were exposed. The second sector was the Central Church an the third was the North Slope.

The results of different geophysical methods show that there is much more at Hacimusalar than churches and defensive walls. We will continue geophysics survey on and around the Mound in the coming seasons!
