sonic archaeology

Sonic archaeology is a scientific method that uses sound waves—such as ground-penetrating radar or ultrasonic pulses—to explore and analyze underground structures, buried artifacts, or hidden features without excavation. By sending sound signals into the earth and interpreting the echoes, researchers can detect and map what lies beneath the surface. This technique allows archaeologists to locate and study historical sites, human-made structures, or natural formations safely and efficiently, providing valuable insights while preserving original contexts. Sonic archaeology combines geology, acoustics, and archaeology to uncover the past in a non-invasive way.
