Archaeological Services

Radar Solutions International provides archaeology-related data acquisition, data interpretation, and training services to clients world wide.

Services we provide that relate to archaeology include:

  • GPR Time-Depth Imaging
  • Magnetometry
  • EM Terrain Conductivity
  • Electrical Resistivity
  • Seismic Refraction/ Nonlinear Refraction Travel Time Tomography
  • Gravity

For an in-depth example of our work, feel free to read about the lost city of Helike in Greece (link below). This case study is an excellent example of the way in which our methods can be applied toward archaeological endeavors.

The Search for Ancient Helike: a GPR Case Study

GPR Time-Depth Imaging (created using GPR-Slice© software)

RIGHT: El Paso era (1150 AD - 1400 AD) adobe floor slab discovered by RSI in southern New Mexico. The rectangular floor slab is clearly visible and the reflective area within the floor slab could represent a burial or possible excavation by looters.

ABOVE: Representative depth slice of a 17th century burial ground in Scarborough, Maine. Interpreted GPR results showing apporximate burial locations are superimposed on the slice.

 

ABOVE LEFT : Depth Slice showing an air conduit connecting two chimneys of the historic Gore Mansion in Waltham, Massachusetts.

ABOVE RIGHT : Slightly deeper depth slice showing brick archways beneath the marble floor slab of the mansion.

Magnetometry

ABOVE LEFT : Contoured total field magnetic data from Saratoga National Park, where RSI conducted magnetic, electrical resistivity and GPR surveys. The red to yellow filled contours delineate areas where the sandy soil has been disturbed. In this grid, the red filled contours correspond to earthworks showing a cannon battery constructed by the British army after it retreated into the hills following the Battle of Saratoga.

ABOVE RIGHT: 3D relief of contoured magnetic values showing the earthworks associated with the former cannon battery.
