| Abstract: |
A geophysical survey was conducted over a site at Tewitfield, Lancashire, where finds of Viking hack silver had been found by metal detector. The aim was to determine whether there was any anomaly in the vicinity of the finds which might be related to them. Magnetometry, resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, vertical electrical sounding and ground probing radar methods were applied. A large elongated resistivity anomaly was located adjacent to the find positions, and estimated to extend to a depth of between 0.8m and 1.2m by the electrical pseudo section and GPR data. However, none of the methods could determine without doubt whether this or any other of the anomalies detected was of archaeological origin. Subsequent test excavation has indicated that the feature is natural in origin. |
