Download or read book A Field Guide to Geophysics in Archaeology written by John Oswin and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-07-21 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geophysics operations in archaeology have become well known through exposure on television. However, the technique is presented as the action of specialists and something of a mystery, where people walk about with strange contraptions, and results appear from a computer. This is not the case, however. Some scientific knowledge is needed in order to understand how the machines work and what they detect but otherwise it is only necessary to know how to handle the instruments, how to survey a field and how to interpret the computer results. This book provides all the relevant information. It explains geophysics operations in archaeology, describes the science that gives the soil properties to measure and the means by which the instruments make their measurements. Dr John Oswin is in charge of the geophysics operation of the Bath and Camerton Archaeological Society and his work has recently been the subject of a television programme. He has taught many students how to use geophysical equipment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last few years have seen a significant increase in the use of geophysical techniques by archaeologists in the United States working in both academic settings and Cultural Resources Management (CRM). Since 1995. the Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL) has made a concerted effort to assist the Department of Defense (DoD) in making efficient use of geophysics in managing the cultural resources at a number of installations. This report provides a set of guidance documents and decision support tools to help CRM managers and field practitioners. particularly those working at DoD installations. make effective use of geophysical techniques. The ATAGS (Automated Tool for Archaeo-Geophysical Survey) software tool. described in this report. allows the user to develop an effective survey design or a geophysical survey at a particular site. ATAGS produces a detailed report that also provides guidance on project management. ATAGS is presently designed for use in the Midwest and Plains regions of the United States. Those working in the Mid-south and interior South will also find ATAGS useful. The survey designs are intended for geophysical instruments manufactured by Geoscan Research (USA). but can also be used (with minor revision) with all comparable instruments.
