Different geophysical methods are used for detection, classifying and documentation of various archaeological objects.
Some of the results of our mappings are presented on this site. To have a look on it just click in the main menu at the button corresponding to the country (Examples -> select country) you are interested in.
The project Geophysical Prospection of Archaeological Sites of the government of Baden-Württemberg, Germany, was started
in the end of 1991 by the author. Up to now methods used are: Geomagnetics,
Geoelectrics, Electromagnetic Induction and Ground Penetrating Radar.
