Geophysical Surveys at Petra World Heritage Site
A GPR was used to search for buried features at Petra, Jordan. GPR results indicated a buried chamber. Subsequent excavations confirmed the presence of a buried tomb. It contained the remains of at least 11 human skeletons
Archaeological Characterisation at the Iron Age ringforts on Öland, Sweden
Archaeological Prospection of Iron Age Migration Period ringforts in Sweden, GPR and LiDAR detect structures inside the ringforts, Elemental analysis of soil samples indicate activity areas
Gold-foil figures and human skulls in the royal hall at Aska, Hagebyhöga, Östergötland
During the mid-first millennium AD, centres of royal power with large halls emerged across southern Scandinavia. No evidence for such sites, however, was known from Östergötland in south-east Sweden. Here, the authors present results from fieldwork at Aska near Vadstena, identifying the principal manor of a petty royal lineage occupied between c. AD 650 and 1000. Excavations have revealed a 50m-long hall raised on a 3.5m-high platform and the lar…

Geophysical Investigations on the Viking Period Platform Mound at Aska in Hagebyhöga Parish, Sweden
Aska hamlet in Hagebyhöga parish, Östergötland (Sweden), is famous among Viking scholars for a rich female burial under a low cairn that was excavated in 1920. The main visible archaeological feature of the site is an enormous barrow, but its contents have not been excavated. As the barrow is oval and has an extensive flat top, it has been hypothesized previously that rather than a grave superstructure, this might be an uncommonly large raised fo…
Archaeological prospection of a high altitude Neolithic site in the Arctic mountain tundra region of northern Sweden
Tracing High‐temperature Crafts
Gradiometer surveys have been carried at three Iron Age and early medieval sites on the island of Gotland, Sweden. Previous experiences of poorly executed magnetic surveys combined with a misconception among archaeologists that the Gotlandic sedimentary bedrock would preclude the success of any magnetic investigations on the island have, until now, prevented the extended use of the method within archaeological projects. The purpose of the present…
A review of the use of geophysical archaeological prospection in Sweden
While geophysical prospection for iron ores has a long history in Sweden the use of geophysical archaeological prospection has been limited compared to other countries. In this paper we discuss the likely reasons for this situation and present a brief history of geophysical prospection and in particular geophysical archaeological prospection in Sweden. The first use of different prospection methods, such as metal detection, earth resistance, magn…
A short review of the use of geophysical prospection methods in Swedish archaeology
Introduction Geophysical prospection has a long history in Sweden, searching for ore bodies and investigating geology, connected to Sweden’s long mining traditions. In archaeology the situation has been quite the opposite. Swedish archaeologists have generally been quite skeptic to use geophysical methods, and as a consequence only a handful geophysical prospection surveys has been conducted each year since the late 1970s. However the last years …
Archaeological prospection in the Swedish mountain tundra region
Introduction During the International Polar Year (IPY) 2007-2008 scientists from over 60 nations have examined the Arctic and Antarctic environments from different scientific perspectives in over 200 different projects. The focus of the IPY in Sweden has been set on studies of climate change as well as of human cultures and societies in the polar region. These studies were considered important not only from an environmental but also from a cultur…
