Prospecting - CSATHÓ Beáta, PATTANTYUS-Á. Miklós: Possibilities and experiences of geophysical prospecting at archaeological sites in Hungary
Summary Summarizing the methods for the site investigations described above, the ideal process is as follows: 1. Aerial photography and interpretation; 2. Archaeological field survey and collection of finds and statistical interpretation; 3. Geophysical prospecting, shallow boreholes; 4. Small scale excavation (trial trenches) based on the results obtained so far. This may be nearly simultaneous with point 3, since the checking of the measurements by excavations is inevitably necessary for further interpretation; 5. Large scale excavation. In Hungary, too, attempts like this have recently been made at the complex prospecting of archaeological sites. References Aitken,M. J., 1974, Physics and Archaeology: Oxford Univ.
