Locating the Former Synagogue of Seduva, Lithuania

Abstract

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) was collected over a pavement parking lot in Šeduva, Lithuania, to search for a synagogue that was destroyed during the Soviet occupation of Lithuania. The GPR data was collected with a Sensors & Software pulseEKKO GPR equipped with 500 MHz antennae. The survey was collected over a grid that was 18m x 32m and a line spaced every 0.25m. The GPR line data was processed within the software packages: GFP_Edit and EKKO_Project 5. The results from the survey showed what are interpreted as structural walls and the outline of the previously standing synagogue.
