Introduction

Amateur Treasure Hunters In Line For Big Payday

A father and son metal detecting team unearthed the most important Viking treasure hoard in Britain for more than 150 years, it was announced today.

The NAS is dedicated to advancing education in nautical archaeology at all levels; to improving techniques in excavating, conservation and reporting; and to encouraging the participation of members of the public at all stages.

The Nautical Archaeology Society is a non-government organisation formed to further interest in our underwater cultural heritage. We are a registered charity based in the United Kingdom, but with strong links to sister organisations around the world. (The Charity Commission for England and Wales Reg. No. 264209.)

This list with resources relevant to Archaeological Prospection is part of a service maintained by the Department of Archaeological Sciences, University of Bradford.

"The object of the Society shall be to advance the education of the public in archaeology (including the man-made landscape and the built-environment) through the promotion of high standards of research, application and communication in the field of archaeological prospection and related studies. The Society's scope shall be international, both in activities and membership."

NADAG is a database and website that aims to promote use, education, communication, and a knowledge base of the practice of archaeological geophysics in North America. Most archaeologists in this continent have little knowledge of geophysical methods or of their potential to archaeology, and their level of use in projects remains low. This circumstance exists despite the many benefits of these techniques and large advances in the quality of results in recent years.

This Guide to Good Practice is concerned with the variety of data that may be produced during geophysical survey projects and how to ensure that they can be preserved in digital formats for future re-use. The digital preservation of geophysical data is important. Effective digital archiving ensures that the data generated during a survey are available for reprocessing and re-interpretation in the future. The single most important consideration for long-term digital archiving is the accurate documentation of data, their collection and subsequent management procedures.

Archaeological prospection using magnetic and georadar measurements can reveal the presence of settlements and map the location and structure of individual buildings, fortifications, dikes, burial sites, pits and even single post holes. Large areas can be surveyed with dense sample spacing in little time and at low costs compared to archaeological excavations. Georadar and magnetometer archaeological prospection is entirely non-destructive.

An interdisciplinary cooperation between archaeologists, geophysicists and computer scientists to tread new paths in archaeology.
