    The rapid development of the GPR method allow for accurate survey of the soil. Informations about shallow objects are obtained, their depth, shape and approximately the material from which they are made. The aim of this thesis was to examine the usefulness of GPR method to locate subsurface structures, in particular the crypt and the remains of the original Romanseque church at the Basilica of the Assumption Cathedral in Kielce. Measurements were made with RAMAC/GPR produced by Mala Geoscience Swedish company. The data were processed in the Reflex. The GPR method has proved to be excellent to locate all kind of objects in the building of the temple.

    Burial crypts in solid rock - a geophysical case study of a small church with a unique polychrome in Szydłów (S Poland)
    (Wydawnictwa AGH, 2019) Zieliński, Artur; Łyskowski, Mikołaj; Mazurkiewicz, Ewelina; Lubarska, Kinga Wiktoria
    Lesser Poland (Małopolska) is a historic region of Poland. The presented case study was undertaken in the All Saints' Church in the town of Szydłów, in which conservation and restoration works were carried out to preserve Gothic wall paintings by identifying and eliminating the causes of their degradation, and these efforts were supported by geophysical surveying. The conducted studies constitute a step not only to determine the age of the construction of the Szydłów temple, but also to improve knowledge of medieval architecture and mural paintings in Lesser Poland. The geophysical research with application of GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) helped to locate previously unknown structures under the temple floor. This survey indicated four, possibly connected, structural objects clearly visible in GPR profiles. Carried out works confirmed that anomalies visible on radargrams mark two crypts. This discovery of the hidden construction elements emphasizes and strengthens the earlier suppositions of the unique character of this temple.
