The problem of modern archeology is the study of monuments that are not expressed on the surface due to centuries of plowing. Using the example of a geophysical study of the Shekshovo 9 monument (Suzdal Opolie region), we consider the use of geophysical methods for mapping the structure of the necropolis. The main idea is to search and interpret archaeological objects in geophysical data as heterogeneities towards background geological and soil structures.
В статье рассматриваются возможности использования геофизических методов для выявления границ и изучения внутренней структуры невидимых на поверхности средневековых некрополей Суздальского Ополья. Особое внимание уделено проблеме поиска грунтовых погребений на площадке могильника Шекшово 9 и сопоставлению данных геофизической разведки и археологических раскопок, проведенных на этом памятнике.
The article discusses possibilities of applying of geophysical prospections for the detection of the borders and the spatial organization of the burial sites in Suzdal Opolye region in the Volga-Oka interfluve. Medieval burial sites in this region at present have no visible signs on the surface. Special attention is focused on the detection of flat graves at Shekshovo 9 burial site, and the comparison of the data obtained by geophysical prospection and those from archaeological excavations at this site.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
