Interpreting Ground-penetrating Radar for Archaeology 

Lawrence B. Conyers

October 2012, 220 pages

            

Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) has become one of the standard tools in the
archaeologist's array of methods, but users still struggle to understand
what the images tell us. In this book-illustrated with over 200 full-color
photographs-Lawrence Conyers shows how results of geophysical surveys can
test ideas regarding people, history, and cultures, as well as be used to
prospect for buried remains. Using 20 years of data from more than 600 GPR
surveys in a wide array of settings, Conyers, one of the first
archaeological specialists in GPR, provides the consumer of GPR studies with
basic information on how the process works. He show how the plots are
generated, what subsurface factors influence specific profiles, how the
archaeologist can help the surveyor collect optimal data, and how to
translate the results into useable archaeological information.
