I was in a Barnes and Noble store and read a short treatise published by a
SUNY Buffalo student in math whose name escapes me. The new mathematics
allowed the rapid tracking of radar targets, etc. One of the uses was that
one could from three or perhaps less "boreholes" map the subsurface
stratigraphy from the soundings and echos across the ground quickly. Does
anyone know if this has actually been done in archaeology? It seemed very
innovative considering the mathematics can be applied to a large number of
situations and one was subsurface mapping.
