| Abstract: | Mnajdra is a megalithic temple complex located in the south of Malta. It consists of three buildings facing a common oval forecourt and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1992. Mnajdra's Central temple (as well as the small one on the eastern side) is built on an artificial platform while the Lower Temple is built directly on hard rock. In this study, several single station ambient vibration measurements were performed as well as seismic array measurements, from which dispersion curves were extracted and analyzed (mainly using the Extended Spatial Auto- Correlation technique). |
