Product Description

Product Description
Dr. Clark, who was one of the earliest to work in this field,and has written the first general survey of an increasingly important area of practical archaeology.

From the Back Cover
Scientific soil prospecting methods can give dramatic pictures of buried archaeological sites, and sometimes information on what occurred within them, before any earth has been removed. Dr Clark, who was one of the earliest to work in this field, wrote the first general survey of an increasingly important area of practical archaeology.
The emphasis is on the principles and practical application of the well-established techniques of resistivity, magnetometry and magnetic susceptibility, with shorter sections on emerging and less common techniques such as ground-penetrating radar, electromagnetic methods and phosphate survey.
This new paperback edition updates and enhances the earlier book, adding new material such as the large-scale evaluation exercises now required as a precondition of planning consent for major developments.

First Sentence
Describing his work on Handley Down, Dorset, in 1893-5, Lieutenant-General Augustus Pitt Rivers wrote: The ground to the west of Wor Barrow was examined to ascertain if any trace of habitations could be found, but nothing of any kind could be seen upon the surface. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars A great guide to non-intrusive hightech archaeology., 18 Aug 2001
By James Miller "jamesmiller" (Durham) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Clark manages to write about the methods used extensively both in academic and industrial archaeology in a way that holds the interest of any archaeologist even if he or she doesn't understand the science behind the technique. If the science is of interest it is explained but written in a manner it can easily be skipped by those disinterested. He charts the history of archaeological survey from General Pitt-Rivers's hitting the ground with hammers and listening for odd echos right through till today. He also adds the indispensible (for student at least) aid of many examples of where these techniques have and have not worked and importantly why. Whether an amateur archaeologist or a student this book is not only helpfull but also interesting as many science books are not.
