Cuenca-Garcia, C., Armstrong, K., Aidona, E., De Smedt, P., Rosveare, A., Rosveare, M., Schneidhofer, P., Wilson, C., Faßbinder, J., Moffat, I., Sarris, A., Scheiblecker, M., Jrad, A., van Leusen, M., & Lowe, K. (2018). THE SOIL SCIENCE & ARCHAEO-GEOPHYSICS ALLIANCE (SAGA): going beyond prospection. Research Ideas and Outcomes, 4, Article e31648. https://doi.org/10.3897/rio.4.e31648

Archaeological sites can be discovered and recorded in a high-resolution and non-invasive manner using geophysical methods. These measure the spatial variation of a range of physical properties of the soil which may be representative proxies of the s...

Tales from the outer limits: Archaeological geophysical prospection in lowland peat environments in the British Isles (2018)
Journal Article
Armstrong, K., Cheetham, P., & Darvill, T. (2019). Tales from the outer limits: Archaeological geophysical prospection in lowland peat environments in the British Isles. Archaeological Prospection, 26(2), 91-101. https://doi.org/10.1002/arp.1725

In order to systematically investigate the potential of conventional near surface geophysical techniques to locate waterlogged archaeological targets in peatlands, the authors applied four conventional geophysical methods – earth resistance, ground‐p...
