Large‐scale systematic fluxgate gradiometry at the roman city of Wroxeter

Enhanced interpretation of magnetic survey data using artificial neural networks: a case study from Butrint, southern Albania

“…non-magnetic structures), and the associated positive anomalies are due to magnetic material such as fired clay brick and tiles filling adjoining spaces (see below). Similar magnetic responses from Roman building remains have been recorded at Wroxeter (Gaffney et al, 2000) and at Falerii Novi in the Tiber Valley (Keay et al, 2000). The detected settlement remains appear to follow a northwest-southeast alignment, respecting that of the aqueduct remains, which cross the plain from a source ca.…”

Beyond Squier and Davis: Rediscovering Ohio's Earthworks Using Geophysical Remote Sensing

“…Obtaining the bigger picture of complex sites through remote sensing is not a problem unique to Hopewell archaeology. In other regions archaeologists are now relying on a variety of different kinds of remote sensing data to do the same: in England magnetic gradient surveys are laying bare entire Roman cities (Gaffney et al 2000), in the rainforests of Belize LiDAR data are revealing the shrouded secrets of the Maya city of Caracol (Chase et al 2011), and in many parts of the world new aerial imagery accessible via the Internet, Google Earth, and other sources is resulting in a rapid pace of site discovery on a landscape scale (e.g., Parssinen et al 2009;Thomas et al 2008).…”

Three‐dimensional modelling of a pre‐Aksumite settlement at the archaeological site of Seglamen, Aksum, northern Ethiopia using integrated geophysical techniques

“…Field procedures for the magnetic prospection method have been refined considerably in the last two decades. Currently, the use of magnetic gradiometer and microcomputer‐controlled automatic data collection systems have enabled low‐noise and high‐productivity surveys (Clark, ; Gaffney, Gater, Linford, Gaffney, & White, ; Kaufmann et al, ; Shaaban et al, ). However, the available model MP2 proton precession magnetometer (Scintrex) was used to acquire the total field magnetic data with the aim of outlining the spatial distribution of intra‐site magnetic anomalies of potential archaeological significance.…”
