Abstract
Lightning strikes and prehistoric ovens; determining the source of magnetic anomalies using...
David L Maki
449 - 459
Techniques of environmental magnetism were used to examine soil samples from a North American archaeological site in an effort to determine the source of magnetic field gradient anomalies. Testing revealed the source of one anomaly to be lightning-induced remanent magnetization (LIRM). This anomaly had initially been identified as a possible archaeological feature, but excavations were unable to identify a visible source. LIRM appears to be a relatively common source of anomalous signal on archaeological sites and may often be misinterpreted in magnetic imagery. Thermoremanent magnetization (TRM) was also documented and quantified in soil from archaeological hearths at the site, as were changes in the ferrimagnetic mineral concentration and coercivity spectra resulting from high-temperature enhancement within the hearths.
A methodology for rapid archaeological site documentation using ground-penetrating radar and terrestrial photogrammetry

521 - 535
The study demonstrates how a combination of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and terrestrial photogrammetry were used at an archaeological site in Vigo, Spain to quickly detect and document the remains of two megalithic tombs. An investigation was necessary because the tombs were uncovered during the construction of a new highway. A total station survey was conducted to develop a digital terrain model (DTM) of the study area. Then, a GPR investigation of shallow subsoil was carried out with a 900-MHz antenna. Radar imaging enabled the mapping of two groups of very shallow reflectors, and the excavation revealed a layer of stones with some vertical gravestones at both sites. Each structure forms a megalithic tomb similar to the barrows of Western Europe. Finally, a close-range photogrammetric study was conducted to obtain an accurate metric document. The exhaustive documentation enabled a fine-scaled 3D reconstruction of tombs, thereby creating a detailed record of a site which no longer exists.
