Ground penetrating radar, crucial to the success of the survey
Ground Penetrating Radar is one of the best pieces of equipment to locate buried objects such as relic structures or graves rapidly and beneath concrete or tarmac.
Ground truthing or verifying the geophysical results by excavation has been one of our greatest learning techniques. Understanding why a feature such as a grave from the 1830’s is not showing up in the results makes you seek better techniques so that these type of features are never missed again.
We feel the experience of the archeogeophysicist as an archaeologist, and a geophysicist are crucial to the success of the survey.
