Preliminary GPR Results

 I have decided it's time to post some of the GPR results from the past four days.  There is still a great deal of post processing that needs to be done to smooth the data from grid to grid and account for changes in topography which is extremely drastic in areas.  Regardless the results thus far appear promising and exiting.  Today we completed four 25-x-25 m grids next to the excavated portion of the acropolis.  It was extremely difficult work given the steep inclines in the area.  The images I have posted below only depict the second time slice of the processed data.  The second time slice is from 5 to 11 nanoseconds which has an estimated depth of approximately 25 to 50 cm.  There are interestin anomalies in the subsequent time slices but further processing is needed and 6:00 am arrives early.  The data from the second time slice appear to contain geometric patterns of anomalies suggestive of structures or architecture.  The data also contains numerous large highly reflective anomalies possibly suggestive of burried monuments or some other large lithic item.  There are also patterns in the lower reflections such as the dark circular pattern visible in the Acropolis grids.  Obviously there is more work to be done in interpreting the data.  Tomorrow we will continue in the acropolis with two more grids and hopefully move down to the nice flat plaza area to the east.
