Abstract

Christian archaeological site Emmaus-Nicopolis is well known in the ancient and Biblical history. The site located halfway between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, first built in the 5th century, over the site believed to be the place where Jesus appeared to two of his disciples after his resurrection. Detailed magnetic investigations were carried out at this site and several magnetic anomalies were revealed. Modem quantitative analysis and 3-D modelling of magnetic field allowed to determine depth and size of the archaeological objects as well as to estimate their possible archaeological significance. Archaeological excavations performed at one of perspective anomalies displayed a cave filled by a lot of archaeological remains of Byzantine period.
