Kongsberg Sonar Aids University Geo-Archeological Survey

Researchers from Plymouth University (UK) conducted a marine geoarchaeological survey off Methoni, Greece. The Kongsberg GeoAcoustics Dual Frequency Side Scan Sonar and the GeoPulse Pinger Sub-Bottom Profiler were used for visualisation of underwater antiquities over the local underwater archaeological site, within the GE.N.ESIS project. There is archaeological evidence supporting that the human presence in the Methoni Bay, Greece, dates back to the Bronze Age.
