Abstract
GIS in archaeology -- the interface between prospection and excavation
Wolfgang Neubauer
159 - 166
The author compares the different physical properties of archaeological prospection and excavation. He argues that aerial archaeology and geophysical prospection are the most suitable methods of achieving the intended goal, in providing a large-scale overview, and discusses the advantages and drawbacks of these processes.
Magnetic ghosts: mineral magnetic measurements on Roman and Anglo-S...
Neil T Linford
167 - 180
The location of inhumations, in the absence of ferrous grave goods, often presents a considerable challenge to archaeological geophysics, given the small size of the features and the slight physical contrast between the fill of the grave and the surrounding subsoil. Even during excavation, the identification of graves may be complicated where site conditions do not favour the preservation of human skeletal remains and only a subtle soil stain is likely to survive. A recent initiative has seen the formation of the Buried Organic-matter-Decomposition Integrated with Elemental Status (BODIES) research group, to examine the decomposition of organic artefacts in ancient graves with respect to localized changes in pH, redox potential and nutrient status. The paper presents initial results from a limited mineral magnetic study of two grave sites (Owmby Cliff Farm, Lincolnshire, and Lakenheath, Suffolk) in an attempt to ascertain whether the decomposition of organic remains may lead to a detectable magnetic signature within the soil. Results from a series of isothermal, hysteresis and magneto-thermal experiments is presented together with surface magnetometer and topsoil susceptibility surveys.
