Description
Summary:Searching for buried ancient objects that have no traces on the surface as a result of plowing of the topsoil for centuries is a challenge for archaeology. In this paper, the use of geophysical methods for mapping necropolises is illustrated by a geophysical survey of the Shekshovo-9 burial site (Suzdal Opolie). The main idea is to detect archaeological objects using geophysical data, regarding them as heterogeneities against the background.
