Ground Penetrating Radar for Archaeology

Much has happened to the practice of
ground penetrating radar since the publication of the first introductory
book for archaeologists by Larry Conyers (with Dean Goodman) in 1997.
In this successor volume, Conyers succinctly and clearly lays out for
archaeological practitioners the theory behind, and applications of,
ground-penetrating radar as a non-invasive method of subsurface
prospection. Designed to turn archaeologists into good consumers of GPR
results, this book describes the technology, the equipment, the analysis
and interpretation necessary to produce usable results. Examples from
GPR projects throughout the world help show how these techniques can
improve archaeological practice. Equally important, he explains the
limitations of the method and ways it can be improperly used by
inexperienced field workers. Advances in computer simulation,
statistical modeling, virtual reality techniques, and data integration
that have improved the utility of the method are also described.
