“…In both Monnikerede and Hoeke, the estimated artefact clusters coincide with the delineation of distinct allotments in the magnetic response and are thus in line with results from Brooks et al . (); De Clercq et al . (); Deckers (); Music et al .…”

“…The scarce research that discusses the correlation between surface artefacts and subsurface (electro)magnetic anomalies has been using visual overlay (Brooks et al ., ; De Clercq et al ., ; Deckers, ; Heron and Gaffney, ; Music et al ., ; Peterson et al ., ). However, the large quantity of surface finds and extensive geophysical prospection offered possibilities to quantify their correlation, and was tested using two different techniques.…”

“…Indeed, although Riordan already in 1988 stated that “Ideally, the recording of exact provenience for each artefact is the best method for surface collection” (Riordan, : 6), and Terrenato () tested and praised its potential, surprisingly few studies abandoned rigid gridded survey in favour of artefact‐accurate recording. Yet, those few studies who registered individual surface artefacts, produced highly detailed artefact patterns that probably would not have emerged through gridded survey (Araujo, ; Brooks et al ., ; De Clercq et al ., ).…”

Archaeological fieldwalking is particularly used to detect sites within a landscape, rather than to assess the internal structure of a site itself. Contributory to this trend is that surface artefact patterns collected by pedestrian field survey are rarely seen as valuable archaeological data for intra-site research. In recent decades, they have been overtaken by other non-invasive prospection methods, which seem to be more efficient and time-effective. This paper aims to reassess fieldwalking as a valuable intra-site prospection method and explores its added value when used in a multidisciplinary framework. The medieval lost harbour site of Monnikerede near Bruges (Belgium) is used as a first test-case. The site was subjected to a grid survey in 1985 and recently acted as the location for an intensive artefact-accurate fieldwalking survey as well as an extensive geophysical survey. Comparing the recent global navigation satellite system (GNSS)-underpinned fieldwalking survey results with a 10 m × 10 m grid survey from 1985, demonstrates the gain in knowledge and detail using the former method. The combination of both fieldwalking and geophysics showed both significant positive and negative relations between surface artefact scatters and subsurface anomalies, hence pointing to the complementary nature and added value of the methods being jointly applied. In addition, the combination of both techniques was tested on a second lost harbour site near Hoeke, to further evaluate the potential of the applied methodology. The results demonstrate that, although the sites have been heavily ploughed for decades, the lateral displacement of artefacts is limited and confined to the original medieval allotment. Finally the integration of surface artefacts with geophysical anomalies enabled to enhance the spatiotemporal interpretation of both sites.

“…This change has been accompanied by a renewed interest in research in this area (i.e. Fanning et al, 2005;McKinnon et al, 2007;Stanger and Roe, 2007;Moffat and Raupp, 2008;Wallis et al, 2008Wallis et al, , 2009Brooks et al, 2009;David et al, 2009;Gibbs and Gojak, 2009), following a long hiatus since the pioneering work of Stanley (Connah et al, 1976;Stanley and Green, 1976;Stanley, 1983) on the application of these techniques to Australian conditions. 1 and 2) where they collect data using a ground penetrating radar, an electromagnetic induction device and a magnetometer from an historic cemetery and then process and interpret it to locate possible unmarked graves.…”
