Geophysical techniques applied in Archaeology: From Prospection to Archaeomagnetism
Session ID#: 157005
Session Description:
During the last decades, archaeogeophysics have been widely used in archaeology both as non-destructive prospection surveys to detect underground archaeological remains, and as archaeomagnetic investigations to study the technology and chronological frame of archaeological findings. Such techniques, ranging from magnetic prospection, electric resistivity tomography, ground penetrating radar to soil and rock magnetism and archaeomagnetic dating, are continuously evolving offering complementary information to the archaeological survey and excavation. This session welcomes contributions related to all geophysical approaches applied to archaeology, including experimental advances, data processing, case studies and innovative applications.
