Overview

GPR is a near-surface geophysical technique that can provide three-dimensional maps and other images of buried archaeological features and associated stratigraphy in a precise way. This revised edition provides the basics of the physics, chemistry, geology, and archaeology in a clear fashion, unburdened by complex equations or theory.

Reviews

This book has been an essential introduction and reference for GPR survey in archaeology. This updated edition now includes many of the new developments in the field from the last decade and is the best introduction to this important component of the archaeologist's toolkit.--Dr. Kris Lockyear, Institute of Archaeology, University College London This book provides an excellent guide for archaeologists and geophysicists who are studying GPR for archeology. Lawrence B. Conyers puts his fingers on the most modern advances in the GPR technology and presents a wide range of information that offers a comprehensive picture of using this method in archeology.--Mohammed AL-Hameedawi, archeogeophysicist, Smart Line Geophysical Survey

Author Information

Lawrence Conyers is the author of 5 books on ground-penetrating radar, and more than 45 peer reviewed journal articles. He was one of the first to develop GPR techniques for both archaeology and geological applications starting in the late 1980s and has been on the forefront of using these methods to find, map and understand buried sites around the world. He was also instrumental in developing software for imaging the ground, with hundreds of software users around the world. The focus of Conyers’s work is the interpretation of GPR data that is collected using a variety of different radar systems. In this way this book, and his previous books and articles, are focused on how to modify and adapt tools that are readily available in all GPR processing and image production software packages to specific questions to be asked about what is below the ground.
