Archaeologists from the University of Cambridge and University of Ghent were able to cover all 30.5 hectares of the site of Falerii Novi, a Republican-era town about 30 miles north of Rome, using the latest GPR technology which allowed to scan large areas more quickly and in higher resolution than ever before. The technology makes it possible for archaeologists to see the city at different depths without disturbing any of it, giving them the opportunity to study its evolution from foundation to demise.
The scans have revealed the foundations of public bathhouse, a market building, houses, a theater, shops, multiple temples and a large monumental building of an unknown type that may be related to the religion of its Italic residents, the Falisci. It is located near the north gate. It consists of two large structures about 200 feet long with a central row of columns.

Lost ancient civilisation's ruins lie beneath Gulf, says boffin. High performance access to file storage Refugees from a lost civilisation whose ruins and relics lie submerged on the seabed deep beneath the Persian Gulf may have founded ancient, advanced Middle Eastern societies thousands of years ago in the time before the Pharaohs.
According to Jeffrey Rose, a Birmingham uni archaeologist, recent excavations and discoveries indicate that a large number of substantial and relatively sophisticated settlements sprang up around the shores of the Persian Gulf quite suddenly perhaps 7,500 years ago. “Where before there had been but a handful of scattered hunting camps, suddenly, over 60 new archaeological sites appear virtually overnight,” says Rose. “These settlements boast well-built, permanent stone houses, long-distance trade networks, elaborately decorated pottery, domesticated animals, and even evidence for one of the oldest boats in the world.”
