The first examples of archaeo-geophysical investigations in the territory of Turkey, are seen in the 1960s. Archaeo-geophysical studies, which came to an important place in archaeological site investigations and documentation of cultural heritage sites after the 1990s, have taken place in many legislations in the country today. Recently, the employment of non-destructive geophysical techniques in Turkey’s archaeological sites has been drastically increasing. This chapter presents the history of archaeo-geophysical studies, methodological developments, educational and commercial advances. Additionally, widespread commercial applications, how archaeological site types are handled, verification of the relationship between geophysics and excavation results, and good practice examples are also summarised. In addition to the soil variations encountered in archaeological sites, the interpretation of the results of the geophysical techniques used in the determination of the archaeological context, which is highly complex due to ancient earthquakes in archaeological sites in Turkey, is also discussed in this chapter. Although archaeo-geophysics is an essential part of the study of archaeological and cultural heritage sites in Turkey, soil prospecting is limited and there appears to be a lack of integration in comparing geophysical results with the soil prospecting results.

Archaeoseismology is a field of science that investigates the remains of ancient human structures of destructive earthquakes that occurred in their ancient history and in this respect makes inferences on the possible effects of earthquakes whose origins will be may occurred in the future. Although many authors wrote the effects of ancient earthquakes in various periods, the first modern archaeoseismology studies in the world gain momentum starting from the end of the 19th century at the same time with Türkiye. In this understanding, the geography of Anatolia (Asia Minor), which has hosted a wide variety of cultural layers since its Mesolithic end, is an open-air research laboratory for modern archaeoseismological studies. This study is a reference work that summarizes the historical past of the discipline of archaeoseismology chronologically in the perspective of studies on Earth and Anatolia, presents suggestions about the future of archaeoseismology and is a literature summary for the new generation of archaeoseismologists.
