Revealing the Buried Past: Geophysics for Archaeologists

by John Gater and Chris Gaffney

Book Overview

Thanks to ever more sophisticated technologym archaeologists can identify much that is beneath the soil without having to excavate. From banging the surface of the ground with a pick in the late 19th century, through Atkinson's revolutionary use of the "Megger-Earth Tester," to modern-day radar survey, the value of geophysical techniques is lucidly explained with many real-life case studies.
