The project aimed to develop innovative methods, instruments and methodological protocols for the detection, imaging and mapping, on the one hand, of buried antiquities and especially those buried in mounds, and on the other hand, of failures and moisture in structural elements of monuments. The problem of endoscopy of mounds in order to be followed by targeted (limited in space) excavation was addressed with the development of multi-method tomography (electrical, seismic, muon tomography combined with gravity survey). Thus, the integrity of the mounds, which are themselves important ancient monuments, was ensured. A muon detector array was constructed and geophysical tomographies were developed for this specific purpose.

Existing image fusion algorithms were improved and new methodological and programming algorithms for merging information from various types of data were developed. The aim was to produce final images of the subsoil that would simulate in plan the revealed ruins that would be designed if an excavation had been carried out.

Time-lapse electrical tomography and survey were developed, using ground penetrating radar (GPR) in order to monitor the temporal and spatial evolution of failures and moisture content in structural elements of ancient monuments. The relevant measuring devices were developed and a protocol for the relevant procedure was established.
