Ground–penetrating Radar for Geoarchaeology: Analytical Methods in Earth and Environmental Science

Autor LB Conyers
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 dec 2015
There has long been a strong collaboration between geologists and archaeologists, and the sub-field of geoarchaeology is well developed as a discipline in its own right. This book now bridges the gap between those fields and the geophysical technique of ground-penetrating radar (GPR), which allows for three-dimensional analysis of the ground to visualize both geological and archaeological materials. This method has the ability to produce images of the ground that display complex packages of materials, and allows researchers to integrate sedimentary units, soils and associated archaeological features in ways not possible using standard excavation techniques. The ability of GPR to visualize all these buried units can help archaeologists place ancient people within the landscapes and environments of their time, and understand their burial and preservation phenomena in three-dimensions. Readership: Advanced students in archaeology and geoarchaeology, as well as practicing archaeologists with an interest in GPS techniques.

Public țintă

Advanced undergraduate and graduate students in archaeology, earth science or anthropology programmes worldwide, professional archaeologists and palaeoanthropologists needing a primer on the use of GPR.
There is both an academic and applied component to the proposed book, and potential readers are not only students in the university programs that focus on these topics, but also those whose every day work includes cultural resource management (CRM in North America) and rescue archaeology and heritage management in much of the rest of the world.  In today s scientific world these researchers have to become more holistic in their research approaches as new, often buried, archaeological discoveries are being made that have a complex geological matrix.  It is only with a geological approach, accompanied by the use of geophysical tools, that many of these new and interesting sites can be effectively studied.  Just a few of these complex archaeological projects I have been involved with in the last few years that have incorporated a merging of these techniques, which are the subject of this proposed book:
1. The King Richard III grave in Leicester, England (in a very complex stratigraphic urban landscape),
2. New discoveries of Archaic villages on the Oregon coast in ancient sand dunes
3. The buried, almost perfectly preserved, Mayan village in El Salvador encased in a complex volcanic sequence.
