Abstract:
|
Archaeological Institute and Department of Culture and Information of Hanoi have
made archaeological excavations inside Doan Mon vestige. As a result, at the depth of 1.0-1.2m an
yard covered by the brick, stone jetty of the Le Dynasty; at the depth of 1.9-2.0m the 1.3m-wide
road, covered by the lemon flower-colour brick, of the Tran Dynasty, below it is old road
foundation of the Ly Dynasty have been found. With this information, we have investigated in
order to get information for determining these old road foundations around Doan Mon vestige in
the direction of old road foundations found inside Doan Mon vestige.
With the obtained results, it can be seen that application of the combination of Ground-
Penetrating Radar (GPR) and Multi-electrode Resistivity Imaging (MRI) methods can fully satisfy
the requirements of archaeologists in solving archaeological problems. Due to non-destructive
feature, fast investigating speed, with less time and low cost, the application of these methods can
help archaeologists to quickly observe a whole picture of the area under investigation. The old
foundation layer and the old road are shown rather clearly and continued to extend from Doan
Mon Gate to Kinh Thien Temple. Beside, we have discovered small objects scattered on different
profiles. |
