We present a geophysical survey work in the Roman site of Proendos, Sober, Lugo, Spain, which has been carried out on 27,000 square meters of surface area. From a methodological perspective, two different techniques have been compared on the same plot, Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and magnetometry, showing the pros and cons of each one in granite substrate environments. The results of the chosen method (GPR) have shown a complex and long-term urban reality, part of which can be placed in the Roman period.

During the summer of 2019, a geophysical survey was carried out in the archaeological area of Las Pizarras. The application of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), a non-invasive technique, has allowed us to detect and map anomalies related to previously unearthed and unexcavated structural remains linked to this Roman villa, located 2 km North of Coca (Segovia). This first approach to data obtained by the application of this particular auxiliary research strategy provides new and significant details regarding the arrangement of the villa, its global design and internal articulation, as well as adding to our general comprehension the character and extent of this elite residential complex.

Nowadays there is a growing attention to novel applications of geophysical methods in solving hydrogeological and environmental problems. Prospecting methods based on integrated multiple non-invasive geophysical techniques have proved to be very useful tools in supporting preventive archaeological studies. In this way it is possible to reduce the uncertainty in the interpretation of the results by combining the results of more investigations from different techniques. This approach makes it possible to obtain some clues about the presence of archaeological finds buried in the soil. It goes without saying that information about location and depth of archaeological structures obtained by different geophysical surveys can greatly help in bring to light archaeological structures avoiding unnecessary excavations and destructions, cutting time and back costs and steering future explorations. Starting from these preliminary remarks, this work aims to illustrate the use of integrated geophysical methods in bring to light structures in the archaeological area of the ancient Greek colony of Paestum (southern Italy). In this site high resolution geophysical surveys were carried out for the detection of buried bodies in some areas subject to the adjustment intervention and to the setting of road infrastructures. The structural complexity present in the subsoil has suggested the implementation of integrated geophysical investigations based on Magnetometry, GPR and ERT, in order to obtain as much information as possible on the area for which any previous geophysical information was available. In the investigated site, about 3000 m2 wide, magnetic measurements were acquired by means of the vapour caesium magnetometer Geometrics G-858 with gradiometric configuration along 1 m spaced parallel survey lines. GPR profiles with a SIR System-2000 of Geophysical Survey System Inc., equipped with a 200 MHz monostatic antenna were also performed. A total of 75 parallel profiles were made across the site, according to a criterion of regular acquisition along a rectangular mesh grid. On the basis of the results from magnetometric and GPR surveys, ERT arrays in correspondence of areas with stronger anomalies were performed. Three geoelectrical tomographies using a 48-channel georesistivimeter Syscal R2 (Iris Instruments), with multi-electrode array Wenner-Schlumberger and 0.5 m electrode distance were obtained. The cross-correlated analysis of data obtained from magnetometer, electromagnetic, and geoelectrical surveys provided information with very high detail, allowing for planning and executing the excavations, from which archaeological findings of particular interest emerged.
Ground-penetrating Radar (GPR) and Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) have been fruitfully employed for archaeological purposes. An area at the Pancorbo medieval site in Burgos (Spain) has been jointly explored by GPR and ERT in the search for the buried remains of the Pancorbo medieval village. After data collection, quality control and merging, a shallow depth of interest was identified and studied in detail. 3D resistivity simulation, considering sensible geometrical structures of the targets helped discover anomalies present in the area. On the other hand, visual GPR inspection was considerably enhanced by trace energy attribute analysis which provided a plan view of the existing anomalies. Two posterior archaeological excavations have a very good correlation between the identified anomalies and the excavated remains. The survey also provides hints for the continuation of the excavation.

The rise of digital culture has created both tremendous human possibilities as well as tremendous challenges and problems. Powerful corporate and commercial interests compete for our attention, which has become a valuable commodity in the online world. Living in a culture of organized distractions, human awareness is fragmented, causing us to lose touch with ourselves, our neighbors, the world around us, and God. This paper explores the traditional ascetic practices of attention and watchfulness, which are recommended as counterweights to modern cultural, psychological, and spiritual fragmentation. The principal sources under consideration are drawn from the Philokalia, a collection of writings devoted to the practice of "attending to oneself."
