A daily briefing of the archaeology and history of sites around the world.
Ground Penetrating Radar is a non-invasive method that is used to map archaeological sites without destroying them. It can be used to find a number of subsurface features prior to, or instead of, excavation.
Magnetometry is a non-invasive method that is used to map archaeological sites without destroying them. It can be used to find a number of subsurface features prior to, or instead of, excavation.
Earth Resistance is a non-invasive method that is used to map archaeological sites without destroying them. It can be used to find a number of subsurface features prior to, or instead of, excavation.
Electrical Conductivity is a non-invasive method that is used to map archaeological sites without destroying them. It can be used to find a number of subsurface features prior to, or instead of, excavation.
Dan Bigman, owner and founder of Bigman Geophysical, tells us about the four primary methods for non-destructive archaeology - that is, looking under the ground without a shovel! Watch for additional episodes about each method after this overview.
On today's episode, Tristan sits down with Alistair Galt of AOC at CiFA2017 to talk about field geophysics. What's good, what's bad, and what does it all mean?
