Archaeological Geophysics

Archaeological geophysics is a technique used to locate and study buried archaeological sites without digging. By employing tools like ground-penetrating radar, magnetometers, and electrical resistivity meters, archaeologists can detect variations in the soil and hidden structures, such as walls or graves. These methods allow researchers to visualize subsurface features, providing valuable information about past human activities. This non-invasive approach helps preserve sites while gathering data to inform excavation strategies and enhance our understanding of historical cultures.
