Short summary
This paper presents the results of an investigation into a monument using ground penetrating radar and infrared thermography. The data have been gathered and processed to investigate the presence of multilevel cavities beneath the floor of the monument, and to test an innovative instrument built within the framework of a previous research project. The results show how some features of the underlying environments (partially known, partially unknown) are understood from the upper floor.
