A Novel Protocol for Reconstructing Depositional Histories of Anthropogenic, Sedimentary Records
Kartlegging av middelalderske kirkesteder i Norge med Georadar
An estimated 2000 churches are believed to have been built in Norway during the medieval period. Although many of the associated church sites are still in use, a considerable number have since been dissolved or moved. Thus, the location of more than 600 abandoned church sites is known, whilst several are only known through historical sources, place names and tradition. From a cultural heritage management viewpoint this is a challenge as the sites…
GPR Coherence Imaging Examples
Large-scale high-resolution multi-trace GPR coherency imaging enables novel data visualisations to enhance the contrast of certain archaeological structures that otherwise are difficult to see.– We will illustrate why data coherence visualisations can give good results at some sites and bad, if not ugly at others
Multi-Trace Coherence Mapping and Data Fusion for Improved GPR Imaging
Usually only GPR reflection amplitudes are imaged, while GPR data contain far more information.– Multi-trace GPR coherency visualisations offer new insights into structures otherwise hardly visible.– Image fusing permits the combined display of different GPR data attributes (amplitude and coherency)
Traces of a Swedish army camp from 1644 revealed at Uppåkra by extensive magnetometer survey
In the framework of an archaeological prospection case study conducted at the Swedish Iron Age site of Uppåkra near Lund, a large number of anomalies caused by buried archaeological remains were detected using extensive magnetic surveys. Written sources report that the Swedish army under Field marshal Gustav Horn had established a camp near the village of Uppåkra in autumn 1644, awaiting the approaching Danish army. Magnetic anomalies of two larg…
Halls at Borre
Gjellestad
The Late Nordic Iron Age (AD 550–1050) was characterised by significant change in political, military, judicial and religious structures across Scandinavia, most clearly manifested in the appearance of high-status ‘central places’ in the landscape. Recent ground-penetrating radar surveys at Gjellestad in Norway have revealed a site comprising several large burial mounds—one of which contains a ship burial—in addition to a possible cult house and …
Delineating an Unmarked Graveyard by High-Resolution GPR and pXRF Prospection
The lack of accurate locational information on abandoned medieval and later graveyards constitutes a considerable challenge to national and local bodies tasked with their protection and management. These sites are increasingly in danger of destruction due to climatic changes, intensified farming schemes or developmental encroachment, and there is an ever-growing need to develop nonintrusive methods to ensure their detection and delineation so tha…

Evidence pertaining to Viking Age industry and trade is rarely encountered in the Norwegian archaeological record, although recent evidence suggests that sites of this character are more common than previously thought. Systematic metal detecting and large‐scale geophysical surveys carried out in Øvre Eiker in the southeast of Norway between 2014 and 2016 revealed a multiphase and complex settlement area, consisting of large pits potentially assoc…
Durrington walls and the Stonehenge Hidden Landscape Project 2010–2016
Since 2010 the Stonehenge Hidden Landscapes Project (SHLP) has undertaken extensive archaeological prospection across much of the landscape surrounding Stonehenge. These remote sensing and geophysical surveys have revealed a significant number of new sites and landscape features whilst providing new information on many previously known monuments. The project goal to integrate multimethod mapping over large areas of the landscape has also provided…
Large‐area high‐resolution ground‐penetrating radar measurements for archaeological prospection
Traditionally, ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) measurements for near‐surface geophysical archaeological prospection are conducted with single‐channel systems using GPR antennae mounted in a cart similar to a pushchair, or towed like a sledge behind the operator. The spatial data sampling of such GPR devices for the non‐invasive detection and investigation of buried cultural heritage was, with very few exceptions, at best 25 cm in cross‐line direct…
Geoarchaeological evaluation of ground penetrating radar and magnetometry surveys at the Iron Age burial mound Rom in Norway
Following magnetometry and ground penetrating radar surveys, a geoarchaeological field evaluation was carried out at the Iron Age burial mound of Rom in Slagendalen, Vestfold County, Norway, in order to assess the accuracy of the geophysical data interpretation and to investigate specific questions that have arisen during data interpretation. The evaluation was conducted within the framework of an archaeological excavation campaign in 2013, which…
Large‐scale geophysical archaeological prospection pilot study at Viking Age and medieval sites in west Jutland, Denmark
In 2014, a team of the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Archaeological Prospection and Virtual Archaeology, in collaboration with Holstebro Museum, conducted a geophysical archaeological prospection pilot study at several Viking Age and medieval sites in West Jutland, Denmark; sites that had been discovered earlier by aerial archaeology. The high‐resolution surveys employed motorized ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) and magnetometer systems as well a…
Archaeological prospection of a specialized cooking‐pit site at Lunde in Vestfold, Norway
In September 2010, an exceptionally large cooking‐pit site was discovered by means of geophysical prospection at Lunde in Vestfold County, Norway. The site contains in excess of 1000 cooking‐pits and is, to date, one of the largest of its kind discovered in Scandinavia. Features known as cooking‐pits are ubiquitous on Northern European archaeological sites. Despite research spanning decades, however, the true function and role of this rather non‐…
Integration of Complementary Archaeological Prospection Data from a Late Iron Age Settlement at Vesterager—Denmark
Survey and Excavation at the Henges of the Wharfe Valley, North Yorkshire, 2013 – 15
Large scale geophysical survey has identified two classic henges in the Wharfe Valley and excavation at the henge at Yarnbury has proved its Bronze Age date, reuniting it with antiquarian finds hitherto lacking secure provenance. These henges are placed in their archaeological context suggesting that Wharfedale may have been an important route in cross-Pennine contacts during the third and second millennia BC and that the Neolithic archaeology of…
Excavation of a Neolithic House at Yarnbury, near Grassington, North Yorkshire
Landscape geophysical survey around the small upland ‘henge’ at Yarnbury, Grassington, North Yorkshire revealed few anthropogenic features around the enclosure but did identify a small rectangular structure in the same field. Sample trenching of this feature, radiocarbon and archaeomagnetic dating proved it to be an earlier Neolithic post and wattle structure of a type that is being increasingly recognised in Ireland and the west of Britain. It i…
Palaeoenvironmental analysis of large-scale, high-resolution GPR and magnetometry data sets
Archäologische Untersuchung einer neuzeitlichen Klause am Falkenstein bei Sankt Gilgen, Salzburg
In a clearing on the Falkenstein, northeast of the Wolfgangsee, there is a chapel built in front of a cave. This monument, together with a nearby well, is connected to the myth of Wolfgang of Regensburg († 994). Because of this association, the site has always drawn people’s interest. Now, through analysis of historical records as well as the use of archaeological methods, it is possible to shed more light on its history. In the Middle Ages, this…

The Stonehenge Hidden Landscapes Project
Over the centuries many archaeologists have investigated the site of Stonehenge and we now know a great deal about the phasing and nature of the site. However, the area around the henge, while containing many symbolic and ritual elements, is curiously ‘blank’. The Stonehenge Hidden Landscapes Project aims to place the site and its development through time within a landscape context using fast and accurate ground‐based geophysical techniques. The …

Magnetic surveys of Early and Middle Neolithic settlements in Austria
Introduction Archaeological prospection has become more important during the last few decades because of technical developments in hard- and software. Magnetic prospecting using high resolution multisensor caesium-gradiometer systems with sensitivities of 0.005 nT is used for detailed mapping of sites detected by aerial archaeology. The instrumentation makes it possible to measure up to 1 ha/h with a resolution of 0.5 x 0.125 m. All prospection d…
