Abstract
LiDAR-derived Local Relief Models '“ a new tool for archaeological prospection
Ralf Hesse
67 - 72
Local relief models (LRM) are proposed as a new tool for archaeological prospection. A data processing approach is presented which produces LRM from LiDAR-derived high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs).

Complex attributes of the magnetic signal are computed using a multiple source approach. Polygonal bodies are considered and the attributes of each corner are summed to produce the overall response; that is a decomposition of the polygonal body into magnetized steps to simulate the vertices. The method is tested on synthetic examples of buried ditches, as well as on real magnetic data. This type of target was selected because it comprises a common objective in 'archaeological geophysics'. The resolution of the method in detecting the edges of the buried ditches depends on their lateral dimensions with respect to the sampling interval used. In general, the signal of the shallowest edges of the buried targets obscures the signal from the deeper corners, thus prohibiting their detection. In some extreme cases, the signals from the deeper corners posed a recognizable signature. The analytic signal may be seen as an anomaly rectification technique. In this context, it is suitable for the presentation of 'archaeological prospection' data since it provides an image that resembles the plane view of the buried antiquities better than the total field anomaly itself.

Geophysical archaeology research agendas for the future: some ground-penetrating radar examples
Lawrence B Conyers
J Leckebusch
117 - 123
Future avenues for archaeological geophysics research are proposed, using ground-penetrating radar (GPR) as an example. One avenue is the application of these techniques to test ideas about culture and history in ways not possible using traditional archaeological methods. Another is the application of sophisticated new equipment and three-dimensional processing methods that can produce greater precision in the products produced, while simplifying data acquisition and revealing more information about buried archaeological features. While the ideas discussed relate specifically to the future of GPR, these basic concepts and future pathways are potentially applicable to the other commonly used near-surface geophysical methods
