Revealing the Buried Past Geophysics for

Thanks to ever more sophisticated technologym archaeologists can identify much that is beneath the soil without having to excavate. From banging the surface of the ground with a pick in the late 19th century, through Atkinson's revolutionary use of the "MeggerEarth Tester," to modern-day radar survey, the value of geophysical techniques is lucidly explained with many reallife case studies.

Chris Gaffney and John Gater have been advisors to Channel 4's Time Team for 10 years, and John appears regularly on the programme. They are both visiting lecturers at the University of Bradford, associate editors of The Journal of Archaeological Prospecting, and are partners in GSB Prospection, an independent archaeological consultancy
