Archaeological investigations involve detailed excavation of the subsurface.
Preliminary geophysical surveys may increase the
chances of excavating a unit that contains artifacts.
These surveys guide excavations by pinpointing the
location of anomalies and/or patterns in subsurface
properties.
In partnering with anthropologists and archaeologists,
we establish cross-disciplinary relationships that broaden the scope of
learning. |
