This book surveys some of the highly ingenious non-destructive methods for detecting and mapping remains of ancient cultures. Some of the techniques included are low-level air photography, magnetic, thermal, electric, and electromagnetic geophysical prospecting. The authors' aim is to to build a visual geographic system available for use by conservationists, historians and scientists alike.
First published in 1990, Archaeological Prospecting and Remote Sensing surveys some of the highly ingenious non-destructive methods for detecting and mapping remains of ancient cultures that have vanished from the modern surface. Techniques include low-level air photography, magnetic, thermal, electric, and electromagnetic geophysical prospecting. A mathematical analysis of the phenomena and measurements is given together with the techniques for interpretation of results using computerized image processing. Archaeological prospecting used with image processing has emerged as a universal tool. The aim is to build a visual geographic system available for use by conservationists, historians and scientists alike. The team of authors comprises an archaeologist, two geophysicists and an applied mathematician who have collaborated to produce a book of immense value in this innovative field of study.
