Geophysics operations in archaeology have become well known
through exposure on television. However, the technique is presented
as the action of specialists and something of a mystery, where
people walk about with strange contraptions, and results appear
from a computer. This is not the case, however. Some scientific
knowledge is needed in order to understand how the machines work
and what they detect but otherwise it is only necessary to know how
to handle the instruments, how to survey a field and how to
interpret the computer results. This book provides all the relevant
information. It explains geophysics operations in archaeology,
describes the science that gives the soil properties to measure and
the means by which the instruments make their measurements.
Dr John Oswin is in charge of the geophysics operation of the
Bath and Camerton Archaeological Society and his work has recently
been the subject of a television programme. He has taught many
students how to use geophysical equipment.
