Geophysical survey is used to identify potential archaeological
features in advance of development. It is often conducted as the first
stage of field evaluation because it is relatively rapid, cost-effective
and non-intrusive. It can involve a variety of complementary techniques
including magnetometry, electrical resistivity, ground-probing radar
and electromagnetic survey.

The Photogrammetric Process.
A photographer takes a sterioscopic digital ‘photograph’
the whole surface. The images are processed on a computer so a three
dimensional view can be seen. Undulations in the surface can be observed.
and distortions adjusted so accurate measurements can be made over
the whole surface. Prior to this photographs from a single camera
gave a ‘visual perspective’ angle and views. Drawings
and paintings as completed by Stephen Cosh and Dr David Neal have
been the only way to record mosaics until now.
A fuller description of the process can be read in the PDF ‘Photogrammetry
and the Lopen Mosaic’ (see resources
for PDF information). |
