Archaeological Geophysics



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.
