The influence of waterlogging and variations in pedology and ignition upon resultant susceptibilities
Magnetic survey techniques, such as fluxgate gradiometry, depend greatly on bodies of soil developing enhanced magnetic susceptibilities. Coarse mineral soils, especially those subject to a high groundwater table, often fail to develop enhanced susceptibilities and gradiometry. An example of this is Easingwold, in the Vale of York, UK. Gradiometry detected very little, however, subsequent excavation uncovered a complex of features suggesting mult…
Alluvium and geophysical prospection
The use of fluxgate gradiometry to investigate archaeological features under >1 m of alluvium is a known problem. However, the frequent opinion that gradiometry has no role in the alluvial environment is incorrect. It is more accurate to say that the results of geophysical surveys are highly variable, as it is often overlooked that the survey results provide other information, most notably of a palaeoenvironmental nature. Four brief case studies …
Soil Science and the Interpretation of Archaeological Sites
A magnetic gradiometry survey of a feature scheduled as a henge (West Yorkshire 1215) picked out the bank of the henge and also a spur feature; however, the magnitude of the gradiometer readings (±200 nT) was deemed too large for a henge. In order to investigate the true nature of the feature, a soil auger survey was undertaken of part of the non-scheduled area. It was believed that as the bank and the spur had similar gradiometric responses, it …
