Archaeological Prospection
What is the basis for detection
![Page 5: DART - improving the science. Bradford 21022012](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052823/55591cb4d8b42a3d028b5067/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Archaeological Prospection
What is the basis for detection
At the small scale:
• The archaeological record can be
considered as a more or less
continuous spatial distribution of
artefacts, structures, organic
remains, chemical residues,
topographic variations and other
less obvious modifications
![Page 6: DART - improving the science. Bradford 21022012](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052823/55591cb4d8b42a3d028b5067/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Archaeological Prospection
What is the basis for detection
At the large scale:
• The distribution is far from even, with
large areas where archaeological
remains are widely and infrequently
dispersed. There are other areas,
however, where materials and other
remains are abundant and clustered.
It is these peaks of abundance that
are commonly referred to as sites,
features, anomalies (whatever!).
![Page 7: DART - improving the science. Bradford 21022012](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052823/55591cb4d8b42a3d028b5067/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Archaeological Prospection
What is the basis for detection
Discovery requires the detection of one or more site
constituents.
The important points for archaeological detection are:
![Page 8: DART - improving the science. Bradford 21022012](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052823/55591cb4d8b42a3d028b5067/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Archaeological Prospection Archaeological sites are physical and chemical phenomena
![Page 9: DART - improving the science. Bradford 21022012](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052823/55591cb4d8b42a3d028b5067/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Archaeological Prospection There are different kinds of site constituents
![Page 10: DART - improving the science. Bradford 21022012](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052823/55591cb4d8b42a3d028b5067/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Archaeological Prospection The abundance and spatial distribution of different
constituents vary both between and within individual sites
![Page 11: DART - improving the science. Bradford 21022012](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052823/55591cb4d8b42a3d028b5067/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Archaeological Prospection These attributes may be masked or accentuated by a variety
of other phenomena
![Page 12: DART - improving the science. Bradford 21022012](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052823/55591cb4d8b42a3d028b5067/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Archaeological Prospection Importantly from a remote sensing perspective archaeological
site do not exhibit consistent spectral signatures
![Page 13: DART - improving the science. Bradford 21022012](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052823/55591cb4d8b42a3d028b5067/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Archaeological Prospection
What is the basis for detection
We detect Contrast:
• Between the expression of the remains
and the local 'background' value
Direct Contrast:
• where a measurement, which exhibits a
detectable contrast with its surroundings,
is taken directly from an archaeological
residue.
Proxy Contrast:
• where a measurement, which exhibits a
detectable contrast with its surroundings,
is taken indirectly from an archaeological
residue (for example from a crop mark).

Archaeological Prospection
Summary
The sensor must have:
• The spatial resolution to resolve the feature
• The spectral resolution to resolve the contrast
• The radiometric resolution to identify the change
• The temporal sensitivity to record the feature when the contrast is
exhibited
The image must be captured at the right time:
• Different features exhibit contrast characteristics at different times

Soil Marks
• variation in mineralogy and
moisture properties
Differential Crop Marks
• constraint on root depth and
moisture availability changing
crop stress/vigour
Proxy Thaw Marks
• Exploitation of different thermal
capacities of objects expressed
in the visual component as
thaw marks

Why DART? Isn’t everything rosy in the garden?
![Page 21: DART - improving the science. Bradford 21022012](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052823/55591cb4d8b42a3d028b5067/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Why DART? ‘Things’ are not well understood
Environmental processes
Sensor responses (particularly new
sensors)
Constraining factors (soil, crops etc.)
Bias and spatial variability
Techniques are scaling!
• Geophysics!
IMPACTS ON
• Deployment
• Management

Why DART? Precision agriculture
![Page 23: DART - improving the science. Bradford 21022012](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052823/55591cb4d8b42a3d028b5067/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Why DART? Traditional AP exemplar
![Page 25: DART - improving the science. Bradford 21022012](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052823/55591cb4d8b42a3d028b5067/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Why DART? Traditional AP exemplar
Significant bias in its application
• in the environmental areas where it is
productive (for example clay
environments tend not to be
responsive)
• Surveys don’t tend to be systematic
• Interpretation tends to be more art
than science
![Page 26: DART - improving the science. Bradford 21022012](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052823/55591cb4d8b42a3d028b5067/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

between the sensor and the
phenomena

DART: Ground Observation Benchmarking
Based upon an understanding of:
• Nature of the archaeological residues
• Nature of archaeological material (physical and chemical structure)
• Nature of the surrounding material with which it contrasts
• How proxy material (crop) interacts with archaeology and surrounding
matrix
• Sensor characteristics
• Spatial, spectral, radiometric and temporal
• How these can be applied to detect contrasts
• Environmental characteristics
• Complex natural and cultural variables that can change rapidly over
time

DART: Data so far - Temperature
Useful tool for
• Scheduling diurnal thermal inertia flights
• Calibrating the TDR readings
![Page 56: DART - improving the science. Bradford 21022012](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052823/55591cb4d8b42a3d028b5067/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
DART: Data so far - Permittivity
Key aims
• Investigate the propagation of EM radiation in different soil conditions
(e.g. temperature, magnetic permeability, moisture content, density) and
identify the difference between archaeological residue and the
surrounding soil matrix
• Attempt to use geotechnical properties (e.g. particle size distribution,
moisture content) to predict the geophysical responses of the different
EM sensors used in aerial and geophysical work
• Link the soil properties to local weather and other environmental factors
to enable better planning for collection techniques
![Page 57: DART - improving the science. Bradford 21022012](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052823/55591cb4d8b42a3d028b5067/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
DART: Data so far - Permittivity
TDR - How does it work
• Sends a pulse of EM energy
• Due to changes in impedance, at the start and at the end of the probe,
the pulse is reflected back and the reflections can be identified on the
waveform trace
• The distance between these two reflection points is used to determine
the Dielectric permittivity
• Different soils have different dielectric permittivity
• This needs calibrating before soil moisture can be derived from the
sensors

![Page 64: DART - improving the science. Bradford 21022012](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052823/55591cb4d8b42a3d028b5067/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
DART: Data so far – Earth Resistance
The measured earth resistance of a site will change
throughout the year.
This is due to many factors which exist in the natural
landscape.
It is not the broad change of readings we are interested in
• Not Quantitative
but how the readings within the archaeological feature change
compared to the readings of the natural surrounding soil
• But Relative
![Page 65: DART - improving the science. Bradford 21022012](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052823/55591cb4d8b42a3d028b5067/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
DART: Data so far – Earth Resistance
methodology similar to that employed by Parkyn et al. (2011)
Overview
• data points
• lie within the ditch feature
• over the non-archaeological feature
• find an average data value for the feature and the surrounding soil
The percentage difference between these two figures can
then be considered the amount of contrast within the test
area.
The higher the percentage, the better the feature is able to be
defined.

DART: Data so far – Earth Resistance
Methodology:
• The raw geophysical data is despiked
• Specific data points are chosen for examination
• Data values are extracted at different probe separations
• The percentage difference is calculated

• Recorded monthly
• Twice monthly at Diddington during the growing season
• Transects across linear features
• Taken in the field where weather conditions permit
• Surface coverage evaluated using near-vertical photography
• Vegetation properties recorded along transect
• Chlorophyll (SPAD)
• Height
