"Discovery of Ancient Fortifications Beneath Bronze Age Village on Italian Island"

Researchers have discovered a hidden fortification system buried beneath the Bronze Age village of Villaggio dei Faraglioni on the Italian island of Ustica. Using ground penetrating radar and electrical tomography, archaeologists and geologists found an 820-foot-long, 13 to 16-foot-tall arc-shaped stone wall, which served as a defensive barrier for the village. This discovery sheds new light on the defensive complexity of the ancient settlement and showcases the potential of geophysical technology in revealing hidden layers of history without invasive excavations.
