Abstract
Use of geodesy techniques is widespread in different fields of science. Especially in such an emerging and dynamic branch of science as archaeology. Warsaw Institute of Archaeology, conducts many archaeological expeditions, among the others Polish-Georgian archaeological expedition in Gonio, where ancient Roman Bath has been discovered and excavated. Gonio is located in Adjara, Georgia, placed on the Black Sea coast. Fortress of Gonio is an ancient Roman fortification, the oldest reference to the fortress is dated for a 1st century AD. After decomposition of Roman Empire, the fortress came under a Byzantine influence. In XVI century Fort was occupied by Ottoman Empire until XIX century, where has been taken by Russian Empire. After decomposition of Soviet Union, and restoring Georgian independence, Gonio is located in the well-developing area and experiencing a tourist boom. Whereas very intense archaeological works are held in this area. Archaeological workflow demands significant labour effort and might be augmented and accelerated by the proper use of geodesy techniques. Reduction of work effort saves not only labour costs but also another important factor, time. This paper focused on a review of geodesy techniques which may have an application in archaeology, with especially insight on the use of remote sensing methods.
