Ground–Penetrating Radar Applications to Archaeology [Deeper Digs]
Add to:
In this seminar, participants will learn the basics of ground–penetrating radar and how this survey method has been applied to archaeological contexts. We will explore the physical requirements for a successful GPR survey, and briefly cover some of the more common technical processing techniques to transform raw GPR data into useful maps of cultural or geologic features. Participants will also be exposed to several case studies where GPR analyses were highly successful in characterizing archaeological sites, including historical cemeteries, as well as historical and pre-contact period archaeological sites.
