Surface geophysics methods are utilised for delineation of various phenomena including; buried walls, ditches, burial mounds, graves, ancient water courses, field boundaries and generally for forensic applications. The primary motivation for using geophysics is to identify 'key' areas for detailed investigation and/or as follow up to conventional archaeological dig.
SURFACE geophysical methods used include; fluxgate magnetic gradiometry, resistivity profiling, 2D resistivity imaging, electromagnetic profiling and ground penetrating radar.
