Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The authors argue that a recently developed down-hole magnetic susceptibility instrument, the Bartington MS2H sensor, coupled with Multitsus FieldPro software, provides a minimally invasive, rapid, and cost-effective means for high-resolution mapping of vertical variations in magnetic susceptibility across archaeological landforms. This technology was applied at a multicomponent prehistoric site located in North Dakota, USA. A grid of down-hole tests, each measuring susceptibility at 2-cm vertical intervals to a maximum depth of 130 cm, was placed over a 40 m by 50 m area to map and thus understand spatial relationships between buried soils and cultural deposits previously identified in widely spaced test excavations. The susceptibility measurements were imported into GPR-SLICE software to aid in interpretation. Two and three-dimensional images and animations allowed buried palaeosols to be traced across the landform and revealed areas of focused human activity on these stable surfaces, demonstrating the potential of such an approach for visualizing landscape use and change over time. | |||||
