The Archaeological Geophysics Working Group

The Archaeological Geophysics Working Group is a professional organization dedicated to the application of geophysical methods—such as ground-penetrating radar, magnetometry, and resistivity—to investigate and map underground archaeological features. Its members include scientists and researchers who use these non-invasive techniques to detect buried structures, artifacts, and landscapes without excavation. The group promotes best practices, shares knowledge, and advances research in archaeological geophysics, helping to preserve cultural heritage while enabling more efficient and informative excavation planning. Overall, it supports the integration of geophysical technologies into archaeological study to enhance understanding of past human activity.
