Full Description
This exam focuses on key theoretical principles of geophysical techniques in archaeology, including resistivity, magnetometry, and ground-penetrating radar. Candidates will articulate the scientific basis for these methods and their significance in detecting subsurface features.
Understanding these techniques is essential for advancing archaeological site investigations without excavation. Their application can significantly contribute to the preservation of sites and resources, facilitating non-invasive research methodologies.
The exam will assess candidates' ability to explain theoretical principles, evaluate the effectiveness of various methods, and articulate the implications of their findings in archaeological studies.
Candidates should be prepared to discuss how these techniques integrate with interdisciplinary approaches in archaeology and their contributions to broader historical narratives.
Sample Questions
- How do resistivity measurements aid in identifying archaeological features?
- What are the limitations of using magnetometry in archaeological surveys?
