Abstract

In order to investigate the possible extension of a cave of great archaeological interest, integrated geophysical measurements have been undertaken. Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and ground-penetrating radar (GPR) have been used. The cave, called "Grotta delle Veneri" (Cave of the Venus), is located in the archaeological site of Parabita (Apulia, southern Italy). It is one of the most important archaeological constructions of the Salento peninsula since its discovery confrmed the presence of the Neanderthal man in the Mediterranean Basin. The results are surprising and show different areas with the presence of cavities in the vicinity of the same cave.
