SEEING THE UNSEEN. GEOPHYSICS AND LANDSCAPE ARCHAEOLOGY is a
collection of papers presented at the advanced XV International
Summer School in Archaeology ?Geophysics for Landscape Archaeology?
(Grosseto, Italy, 10-18 July 2006). Bringing together the
experience of some of the world's greatest experts in the field of
archaeological prospection, the focus of this book is not so much
on the analysis of single buried structures, but more on
researching the entire landscape in all its multi-period
complexity.
The book is divided into two parts. The first part concentrates
on the theoretical basis of the various methods, illustrated for
the most part through case-studies and practical examples drawn
from a variety of geographical and cultural contexts. The second
part focuses on the work carried out in the field during the Summer
School. Tutors and students took part in the intensive application
of the principal techniques of geophysical prospecting
(magnetometry, EM, ERT and ground-penetrating radar) to locate,
retrieve, process and interpret data for a large Roman
villa-complex near Grosseto.
SEEING THE UNSEEN. GEOPHYSICS AND LANDSCAPE ARCHAEOLOGY provides
a clear illustration of the remarkable potential of geophysical
methods in the study of ancient landscapes, and will be usefull to
Archaeologists, Geophysicists, Environmental scientists, and those
involved in the management of cultural heritage.
