Muography of Geometrically Complex Cultural Heritage Sites: Challenges and Solutions on the Example of Searching for Hidden Anomalies on the Ancient Monastery Territory in the Vologda Region
摘要
Abstract
The paper presents an original solution to the muography study of the ancient Spaso-Kamenny Preobrazhensky Monastery territory on Kamenny Island in Lake Kubensky (Vologda Region, Russia). Two points highlight the approach’s originality: validating the reliability of data analysis algorithms by recognizing visually verifiable structures and a thorough examination of experimental data from near-horizon atmospheric muon fluxes. The research enabled the identification of underground density anomalies within the Monastery grounds.
