Giovanni Leucci
after the Degree in Physics he has achieved the title of PhD in Environmental Geophysics. Currently it is researcher at the CNR-IBAM. He has experience in all aspects of exploration geophysics including: field operations; data processing and interpretation; research and development. He was professor in the ArchaeoGeophysics, Applied Geophysics, Physics of the Earth, Environmental Geophysics, Seismology at the Faculties of Sciences and Faculties of Cultural Heritage at the University of Salento. He collaborates to the summer school of "Geophysical Techniques for the Cultural Heritage", developing lessons on the acquisitions and processing of ground penetrating radar data.
He was Professor at the International Master in Urban and Territorial Diagnostic at the University of Salento Cagliari (Italy), Messina (Italy), Palermo (Italy), Pisa (Italy), Trieste (Italy), Atene (Greece), Barcellona (Spain), Buenos Aires (Argentina).
Experience in all aspects of exploration geophysics including: field operations; data reduction, processing, display, and interpretation; research and development.
Extensive knowledge and experience in all major surface, airborne, and borehole geophysical methods including: ground penetrating radar; refraction, reflection, and tomography seismics; electromagnetics; resistivity (Electrical Resistivity tomography) and induced polarization; gravity and magnetics.
Active participation to geophysical projects for groundwater, engineering, environmental remediation, hazardous waste, archaeology, and cultural heritage remediation.
Presentation of project results at technical international and national conferences, within peer-reviewed articles.

are presented and discussed. The site is one of the most important archaeological sites, about 90 ha large, on the north-eastern side of Sicily and
it was one of the last Greek settlements in Sicily. Keeping in mind the vastness of the site, according to the archaeologists an area, of about
1200 m2 was selected, for a geophysical survey. Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), including induced polarization (IP) measurements,
and seismic refraction tomography were applied in the course of geophysical exploration in the area. The objective of this preliminary geophysical
investigation was to verify the effectiveness of the technique for a spatial definition of the buried archaeological structures (mostly walls,
columns, etc.) to determine their characteristics and to study the presence of collapsed columns within the zone of archaeological interest, in
view of their application in the rest of the site, that, for obvious reasons, could not be entirely excavated in brief times. The geophysical
data, visualized in 3D space, revealed a distribution of low-contrast shallow anomalies that indicate the presence of different types of buried
structures in the surveyed area. Also, the probable accumulations of collapsed columns could be determined. These results confirm the hypothesis
of a large northern extension of the archaeological site and provide useful information to design a more efficient excavation plan.

Il risultato è un manuale non convenzionale che offre spunti originali e concreti agli archeologi del futuro in cerca di reali possibilità di occupazione. Una sorta di bottega artigiana dove apprendere i segreti del mestiere, o meglio dei mestieri, che un’archeologia nuova, pragmatica e ancorata nel presente può ispirare.
