  • Ten years on: Geophysical survey on the ‘Heart of Neolithic Orkney’ World Heritage Area

    Open AccessS M Ovenden, J Gater et al.ARTICLEArchéoSciences2009References: 1

    2009 marks an important landmark in the use of geophysical survey on Orkney, as it is now 10 years since the first work was undertaken on the Heart of Neolithic Orkney World Heritage Area. This work began with a gradiometer survey of a few fields around the Stones of Stenness in 1999, which evolved into the WHA Inner Buffer Zone project in 2002. By 2009 the area investigated has expanded to cover almost 300ha of detailed gradiometer survey. Data …

  • Fluxgate gradiometry and square array resistance survey at Drumlanrig, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland

    Open AccessR Walker, Robin R Walker et al.ARTICLEArchaeological Prospection2005Cited by: 2References: 1

    This report details fieldwork on a suspected Roman fort in the grounds of Drumlanrig Castle. Geophysical survey was undertaken in the first instance using a 1.0 m separation fluxgate gradiometer system and the base plan of the fort was confirmed. Additionally a prototype wheeled square array was used to collect earth resistance values in order to investigate further the findings of the magnetic survey. The short report discusses some of the techn…

  • D‐Day: Geophysical investigation of a World War II German site in Normandy, France

    Open AccessChris Gaffney, J Gater et al.ARTICLEArchaeological Prospection2004Cited by: 10References: 4

    Although military sites have long been the subject of geophysical investigation, those associated with recent military campaigns are noticeably rare. In fact, although such techniques are increasingly used to identify the unwanted legacy of modern warfare, such as unexploded ordnances or mass burials, they have not been used to investigate the archaeology of such conflict. The survey here attempts to identify the archaeology of one military site …

  • Geophysical surveys at King Lobengula's Palace KoBulawayo, Zimbabwe

    Open AccessChris Gaffney, G Hughes et al.ARTICLEArchaeological Prospection2004Cited by: 8References: 2

    This report covers the application of magnetic survey, primarily using a magnetic susceptibility field instrument, at the historically attested site of KoBulawayo, Zimbabwe. The approximate position of the site was known before the geophysical survey took place; it was believed to comprise a Royal Enclosure, a surrounding open space possibly used as a military parade ground and the Commoner/Peripheral Settlement of Lobengula, King of the Ndebele.…

  • Large‐scale systematic fluxgate gradiometry at the roman city of Wroxeter

    Open AccessChris Gaffney, C F Gaffney et al.ARTICLEArchaeological Prospection2000References: 3

    Over a number of field sessions, the Roman city of Wroxeter was surveyed using fluxgate gradiometers. In the paper the authors describe the strategy for assessing a large site, approximately 0.7 km2 in size, as well as presenting the graphical results. Prior to the survey it was believed that Wroxeter was a ‘garden city’ with areas of open space inside the defensive ramparts. The results of the magnetic survey, however, suggested that almost the …

  • Geophysical investigations at the Charlton Villa, Wiltshire (England): Geophysical Investigations at Charlton Villa

    Open AccessMC Corney, Chris Gaffney et al.ARTICLEArchaeological Prospection1994

    The work reported in this article was undertaken to investigate a possible Roman villa site on the edge of Salisbury Plain in central southern England. Preliminary fieldwalking evidence had indicated the presence of Romano-British finds including building material. However, aerial photographic evidence merely showed the presence of ring ditch features. Therefore as part of the Salisbury Plain Training Area project, under the auspices of the RCHME…

  • Lowbury Hill, Oxon: A Re-Assessment of the Probable Romano-Celtic Temple and the Anglo-Saxon Barrow

    Michael Fulford, M G FULFORD et al.ARTICLEArchaeological Journal1994Cited by: 10References: 6

    Following earthwork, geophysical andfield-walking survey, a limited evaluation was carried out by excavation of the enclosure and Anglo-Saxon barrow on Lowbury Hill, Oxon. in 1992. Evidence for prehistoric activity on the hilltop is provided by a few sherds of beaker/collared urn, and a more substantial quantity of late bronze age/early iron age pottery. The combination of the new field evidence and a reappraisal of the excavation and finds made …
