Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) mapping provides a three-dimensional analysis of archaeological features within the context of landscape studies. The method’s ability to measure the intensity of radar reflections from deep in the ground can produce images and maps of buried features not visible on the surface. A study was conducted in some areas near the Domus Romana in Rabat (Malta) in order to investigate the still uncovered archaeological structures. The purpose of the GPR survey was to guide the excavation operations (planned but postponed due to Covid-19) and to allow us to understand the development of the defensive walls of the city and any other structures related to the Roman mansion. The choice of the areas to be investigated was therefore guided both by previous archaeological excavations and by the considerations made above. The results obtained through the GPR made it possible to shed light on some of the aspects related to the questions posed by the archaeologists, highlighting part of the structures related to the defensive walls, part of the structures related to water supply and conservation and part of the wall structures related to the Roman mansion itself.

探地雷达 (GPR) 制图可在景观研究的背景下对考古特征进行三维分析。该方法能够测量来自地下深处的雷达反射强度，可以生成地表上不可见的掩埋特征的图像和地图。在拉巴特（马耳他）的 Domus Romana 附近的一些地区进行了一项研究，以调查仍未发现的考古结构。GPR 调查的目的是指导挖掘作业（计划中但由于 Covid-19 而推迟），并让我们了解城市防御墙和与罗马豪宅相关的任何其他结构的发展。因此，在之前的考古发掘和上述考虑因素的指导下，选择了要调查的区域。
