The surveys formed part of the ‘Neighbourhoods of Roman Ostia’ study conducted by Hanna Stöger (Stöger 2011; 2014). The project was committed to non-invasive methods in archaeology and aimed to reconstruct urban neighbourhoods from a long-term perspective. The investigated area runs parallel to the southern extent of Ostia’s cardo maximus, and lies directly behind the city blocks, IV, i-iv, and offers an important insight into the previously unknown extent of the city’s urban fabric. An additional targeted study was carried out in the Terme del Faro (IV, ii, 1).engOstia, Archaeology, Geophysics, GPR, Water Management, Urban StudiesBehind the Block: results from a geophysical study of the unexcavated area in the south-west of Ostiabookparthttps://www.lup.nl/product/designating-place/
