Abstract: |
This research investigates the usefulness of portable X-Ray Fluorescence spectroscopy to detect trace elements in the plough soil, which can indicate past anthropogenic activity. The site under study in this research has artefactual evidence for metal-working, and data from geophysical survey, field-walking, metal-detecting and aerial survey are available for comparison. Geochemical data were plotted against Global Positioning System readings to display soil elemental composition spatially. It was hoped to develop a methodology for geochemical techniques to detect sub-surface archaeology with relatively little cost or disruption. |
