ABSTRACT This study presents results of ground‐penetrating radar surveys conducted for the exploration of unexcavated tombs at the Kharga Oasis. These surveys were carried out on two ancient tombs. The first site, located in Labakha, is already excavated, while the second site, located in Gebel El‐Siwa, is still unexcavated. The goal of this study was to investigate the possibility of the existence of unexcavated tombs in Labakha, as well as the depth, extension and constituents of an unexcavated tomb in Gebel El‐Siwa. Ground‐penetrating radar measurements were carried out using a single‐channel system and the common offset approach. Based on the results obtained from our measurements using 200‐ and 400‐MHz antennae in Labakha, a detailed survey was carried out on the unexcavated tomb in Gebel El‐Siwa using a cart‐mounted 400‐MHz antenna system. 2D ground‐penetrating radar profiles were acquired and subsequently processed and interpreted. Isolated reflections could be identified. Lateral continuity of the reflections could be observed only through comparative analyses of the adjacent scans. By doing so, the remnants of the two tombs became easier to correlate. Two ground‐penetrating radar anomalies could be detected in the archaeological site of Gebel El‐Siwa; these anomalies are probably caused by a nearby tomb. By correlating the obtained data with the archaeological knowledge of the discoveries made in the surrounding areas, it was possible to interpret the linear reflectors as to be caused by the tomb. This study has been useful in providing archaeologists with information on the expression of this type of ancient Egyptian necropolis tombs at Kharga.

埃及哈尔加绿洲两座古墓地的探地雷达反射及其考古意义

摘要 本研究介绍了为探索 Kharga 绿洲未挖掘墓葬而进行的探地雷达调查的结果。这些调查是在两座古墓中进行的。位于拉巴卡的第一个遗址已经开挖，而位于 Gebel El-Siwa 的第二个遗址仍未挖掘。本研究的目的是调查拉巴卡存在未挖掘墓葬的可能性，以及 Gebel El-Siwa 未挖掘墓葬的深度、范围和组成。探地雷达测量是使用单通道系统和通用偏移方法进行的。根据我们在拉巴卡使用 200 和 400 MHz 天线的测量结果，使用安装在推车上的 400 MHz 天线系统对 Gebel El-Siwa 的未挖掘坟墓进行了详细调查。获取并随后处理和解释二维探地雷达剖面。可以识别孤立的反射。只有通过对相邻扫描的比较分析才能观察到反射的横向连续性。通过这样做，两个墓葬的遗迹变得更容易关联。在 Gebel El-Siwa 考古遗址可以检测到两个探地雷达异常；这些异常现象很可能是由附近的一座坟墓引起的。通过将获得的数据与周围地区发现的考古知识相关联，可以将线性反射器解释为由坟墓引起的。这项研究有助于为考古学家提供有关 Kharga 此类古埃及墓地墓葬表现形式的信息。
