Survey of Ancient Antigoneia in Negotino, North Macedonia

In July 2015 a geophysical test survey was conducted  on two sites in the town of Negotino in Macedonia (Municipality Negotino). It consisted of magnetic measurements and earth resistance measurements applied in order to examine the potential of geophysical non-invasive techniques in the recognition of archaeological resources. These measurements were conducted on the site of Gradishte – a hill located north-east of the present city, and a second site on the northern outskirts of the city, adherent to a local football field. The Gradishte site contains architectural remains of an ancient city dated to Hellenistic and Roman periods, that are being excavated by Macedonian and Polish archaeological missions. The second site, located south of the hill in the northern region of the city may supposedly contain remains of an ancient cemetery. The non-invasive survey on both sites was conducted to establish the capabilities of the applied techniques and instruments in the existing natural conditions and sought targets.
