ABINGDON ARCHAEOLOGICAL GEOPHYSICS

SAMPLE REPORTS

Reports are usually sent in draft electronically and followed up with a printed copy. A compact disc is provided with the report and the data saved in various ways to enable it to be further processed at a later date and to be archived by the client.

Please note sometimes that locational detail is omitted from surveys on our website to seek to protect the remains. 

Short Report

This type is usually done to quickly report on findings which can influence further work and is for people who have a background knowledge of geophysics and its limitations. Often we carry out an initial magnetometry survey and then follow up with an area of dense resistivity. This then enables us to establish the appropriate resolution for future work.

Large report

This type is used when we have a fairly good idea of where the detectable remains are and survey work on the site has finished.
