Geophysical Survey of the Archaeological Grave Mounds Site in Cieszacin Wielki

摘要

This paper presents the results of a non-invasive geophysical investigation of an archeological position in Cieszacin Wielki. The study was carried out on a group of ancient ground mounds. The main aim of the present investigation was to recognize the internal structure of one of the selected mounds and delineate the anomalies of the zones which might be related to archaeological objects in the cover of the mound. Three geophysical methods were used: magnetic, electromagnetic and resistivity imaging. The results are presented on the maps of magnetic anomalies ΔT, maps of apparent ground conductivity and shallow resistivity inversion up to 2 m in depth.The results were combined with the geological cross-section and geochemical data obtained from the environs of the mound.
