Integrating shallow geophysical survey: archaeological investigations at Totógal in the Sierra de los Tuxtlas, Veracruz, México

Observatory validation of Neolithic tells (“Magoules”) in the Thessalian plain, central Greece, using hyperspectral spectroradiometric data

“…Such techniques include the use of geophysical surveys through the employment of ground penetrating radars and magnetometers (Ventera et al, 2006;Negria and Leucci, 2006), while other techniques involve the use of aerial (oblique or vertical) and satellite imagery (Cavalli et al, 2007;Parcak, 2009).…”

Reduction of topography effect in inductive electromagnetic profiles: application on coastal sambaqui (shell mound) archaeological site in Santa Catarina state, Brazil

“…Inductive electromagnetic methods have found many applications such as, archaeology (Tabbagh, 1986;Bevan, 1991;Dalan, 1991;Clay, 2001;Gomes, 2003;Venter et al, 2006;Rodrigues et al, inpress), precise agriculture (Corwin and Lesch, 2003;Oliveira et al, 2005), mapping of metallic piping (Borges and Porsani, 2003;Carpenter and Deignan, 1993;Cisar et al, 1993;Maclean et al, 1991;McNeill, 1980), and soil salinity (Bennett and George, 1995;Triantafilis et al, 2000), among others. Theoretical basis to this method can be found in (Keller and Frischknecht, 1966;McNeill, 1980;Telford et al, 1990).…”

EMI as a non-invasive survey technique to account for the interaction between WW I relicts and the soil environment at the Western front

“…The ability for encountering different features within the metal-saturated WW I front zone in Belgium has increased because multi-receiver EMI instruments allow for the simultaneous measurements of σ a and κ a soil properties at multiple soil volumes. EMI techniques have previously been used in archaeological investigations (Lück and Eisenreich, 1999;Persson and Olofsson, 2004;Venter et al, 2006). However, these investigations only employed a limited amount of coil configurations, were conducted at low resolution and not directed towards the integration of the complementary signals.…”
