The underground remains are not visible to the naked eye; the visual inspection cannot discover and locate the underground remains. Accordingly, we used the Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technique, one of the Geophysics detecting means, to discover the underground remains in Tainan Confucian Temple in this study. The GPR ProEx system, produced by MALA, was utilized and the surveyed antennawas the shielded antenna with central frequency 500 MHz. The detecting area was the south square in Tainan Confucian Temple, Taiwan. After the GPR situ surveying and the data post-processing, the analyzing results revealedthe strong and continuously reflective radar signals distribute over a rectangular area and locate at the depth of about 0.8 m to 1.5 m in the south square of Tainan Confucian Temple. Comparing with the historical records (the reconstruction plans of Tainan Confucian Temple), the rectangular area with the strong reflective radar signals might be the foundation remains of the Lingxing gate in Tainan Confucian Temple. |
