GPR Survey at the Venetian Fortification Walls of Chania

In this paper we present the results of a Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey for the detection of a demolished part of the Venetian walls of Chania, Crete, Greece. It is part of the collaboration of the local Ephorate of Antiquities and the Laboratory o Applied Geophysics, Technical University of Crete, for the detection of buried antiquities, for the urban planning of the city. The GPR time slices, depict a linear anomaly in the west to east direction which is interpreted as the extension of preserved parts of the wall.
