Amphipolis: Scan indicates human interventions on Kasta Hill “minor”

The Ministry of Culture has announced that according to the results of the geophysical scan of Kasta Hill [pictured] in Amphipolis, where the enigmatic ancient Greek tomb has been located, the human intervention has be rather limited.

The team of scientists primarily used electrical tomography techniques – and to a lesser extent a ground penetrating radar (GPR) – in order to examine human intervention on the hill. As it transpires, the man-made embankment is only a minor portion of the hill.

The geophysical survey and mapping of Kasta Hill began on the 11^th of November and is carried out whenever the weather conditions permit. Scientists expect the scan to highlight areas of interest for future archeological investigation.
