Geophysical prospecting of indicative areas along the Drava River using the extensive magnetic method along with mapping magnetic susceptibilities in the same network, followed by detailed magnetic recording of selected micro-units. Creating 2D and 3D models of furnaces and a GIS platform that will include all the relevant archaeological data collected during the project as well as knowledge gathered from archaeological investigations into processes in the past with the aim of statistical consideration of the spatial correlations within the metallurgical complexes as well as in relation to the broader region in the sense of archaeological data, topographic and other natural characteristics of the milieu. Time dedicated to the project: 30% working time.
