Seeing beneath the soil: Prospecting methods in archaeology

Geophysical and chemical methods can give dramatic pictures of buried archaeological sites and even information on what occurred within them. Dr Clark, one of its pioneers, has now written a survey of the subject as a whole. As well as descriptions of the development and present state of the art, it includes previously unpublished material and glimpses of future developments that will make this subject even more fundamental to archaeological research. A glossary and comprehensive bibliography complete this survey of an important area of practical archaeology.
