Interpreting Ground-penetrating Radar for Archaeology 1st Edition

An extraordinarily useful book! A beautifully crafted volume, with a wonderful combination of just enough theory (extremely carefully explained), lots of well-defined and well-described case-histories, and a ton of useful data, all depicted with great art-work. If you are planning to use GPR for archaeology, this is the book for you.

This book deals with a very difficult and complex subject. I am a radio engineer interested in archaeology and I feel it is written in such a way I can understand everything when I read slowly. I feel this is an extremely interesting subject for those who have the technical background and who also like detective stories

If you are starting out in GPR you need this book. Very easy to understand.

This fascinating and scientifically detailed book examinesGPR(Ground Penetrating radar) and its usage in modern archaeology.The author, Dr. Lawrence B. Conyers, has beenutilizing this method for more than 20 years, and is consideredan expert in the field. The book explores not only whatGPR is and how it works, but looks at a multitude of uses andwhat the visual radar images mean. There is a discussion howgeology affects the results, as well as chapters showing howit is utilized in historic and prehistoric archaeological contexts.Actual sites are examined, and there are highly detailed explanationsof use and results of GPR. While this is a scientific levelbook, it is quite fascinating, as it reveals the future of modernarchaeology. As an alternative to a large crew moving earth,this method allows for easy access to what lays beneath thesurface with minimum effort without destructive side effects.(Note this review appears in the Central States Archaeological Journal Vo. 60 4.)

Ecellent book, containing a lot of examples of Ground Procesding Radar related to Archaeology.

Ce livre est le seul que je connaisse qui traite de l'interprétation des radargrammes dans le domaine de l'archéologie . Contrairement aux précédents commentaires le sujet n'est pas spécialement "compliqué" mais seulement les infos sont rares car il y a peu de spécialistes dans ce domaine, et ceux ci ne veulent pas révéler leurs "secrets" . Ce livre comble un vide donc , il m'a beaucoup aidé à mes débuts et même encore . Je suis actuellement en train de concevoir mon propre système et mon but est de démocratiser cette technique ( le coût est le principal frein ...) en France notamment . Il est vraiment dommage que le livre ne soit pas traduit en français , il intéresserait beaucoup de monde notamment les spéléologues .
