Archaeology; Radar

Ground-penetrating radar is a near-surface geophysical technique that can provide three-dimensional maps and other images of buried archaeological features and associated stratigraphy in a precise way. This revised edition, by the expert in the field, provides the basics of the physics, chemistry, geology, and archaeology in a clear fashion, unburdened by complex equations or theory. Additions to the forth edition include:

Updates to recent hardware and software advances in three-dimensional antenna array systems and antenna offset technology; Expanded data processing methods that explains how to get more from your raw data, with examples to show why this is necessary and the results obtained; Expanded examples from around the world and in various environmental settings that explains how non-traditional data analysis steps can provide clarity to results in ways that are not usually done with traditional.

The reader will be able to understand how the latest equipment and software and the results of data collection and processing can be used effectively in a number of different settings. Both potential pitfalls and successes and the reasons for them are discussed. With over 100 images and important tables and graphs, this book is a useful reference in the field and for data processing in GPR.

Lawrence Conyers is the author of 5 books on ground-penetrating radar, and more than 45 peer reviewed journal articles. He was one of the first to develop GPR techniques for both archaeology and geological applications starting in the late 1980s and has been on the forefront of using these methods to find, map and understand buried sites around the world. He was also instrumental in developing software for imaging the ground, with hundreds of software users around the world. The focus of Conyers’s work is the interpretation of GPR data that is collected using a variety of different radar systems. In this way this book, and his previous books and articles, are focused on how to modify and adapt tools that are readily available in all GPR processing and image production software packages to specific questions to be asked about what is below the ground.

Reviews for Ground-Penetrating Radar for Archaeology

This book has been an essential introduction and reference for GPR survey in archaeology. This updated edition now includes many of the new developments in the field from the last decade and is the best introduction to this important component of the archaeologist's toolkit.--Dr. Kris Lockyear, Institute of Archaeology, University College London This book provides an excellent guide for archaeologists and geophysicists who are studying GPR for archeology. Lawrence B. Conyers puts his fingers on the most modern advances in the GPR technology and presents a wide range of information that offers a comprehensive picture of using this method in archeology.--Mohammed AL-Hameedawi, archeogeophysicist, Smart Line Geophysical Survey
