The investigation of three early nineteenth century shipwrecks, believed to be contemporary with one another based on the artifact assemblages, was conducted in 2013 at over 1400 m depth in the northern Gulf of Mexico. High resolution mapping of the three sites was conducted from ROV-mounted stereo cameras and multibeam sonar, which produced photomosaics and microbathymetry maps. From these data, we can determine how sediment moved around each site and the geomorphology of the shipwrecks...
Geophysical and Archaeological Explorations of the Center of the Creighton Island Shell Ring (9MC87), Georgia, USA (2023)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Creighton Island Shell Ring (9MC87) is one of several Late Archaic shell rings, circular or “U”- shaped deposits of shell and soil, in coastal Georgia. Radiocarbon dates suggest the shell ring was constructed in at least two phases: constructed initially around 2000–1810 BC, and ceasing around 1920-1730 BC, indicating rapid construction and slightly...

Geophysical Investigaitons at Fort Larned National Historic Site, 14PA305, Pawnee County, Kansas (2017)
During April 2016, archeologists from the National Park Service conducted a geophysical investigation within the core and cemetery areas of the Fort Larned site. Fort Larned served as the base of military operations against the hostile Plains Indians and for the protection of commerce along the eastern part of the Santa Fe Trail during the 1860s and 1870s. The 2016 geophysical investigations included a magnetic survey of the core area and cemetery, as well as a ground penetrating radar survey...
Geophysical Investigation at Fort Motte: Delineating the Fort and Searching for the Sap. (2016)
Investigation of the Revolutionary War site of Fort Motte (38CL1) has been ongoing since 2004. In the 2015 field season volunteers and the summer archaeological field school assisted the work by analyzing 9200 sq meters of the roughly 13 acres of the primary battlefield site by dual gradiometer. Eventually the entire 13 acres will be analyzed. This paper presents the findings to date with special attention to the fortification, plantation house and sap.
Geophysical Investigations at the Hanna's Town Cemetery, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania (2016)
Hanna's Town (36WM203), an 18th century site located in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, was a major settlement that was attacked and destroyed by a force of British and Native Americans in 1782. The town never fully recovered, and the land was repurposed for agricultural use until it was purchased in 1969 by Westmoreland County, who reconstructed the town for tourism purposes. Overlooking the site is the town's cemetery, which has been given little attention in regards to research. The...
Geophysical Investigations of Submerged Landscapes: Results from the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico (2024)
This is an abstract from the "Submerged Paleolandscape Investigations in the Gulf of Mexico" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The authors acquired parametric subbottom and conventional chirp subbottom data over potential submerged and buried landscapes features in the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico. The purpose of the study was two-fold: to map out potential preserved features for geotechnical sampling and also to directly compare the efficacy of the...
Geophysical Investigations of the Three Areas within the Boundaries of Booker T. Washington National Monument, Franklin County, Virginia (1998)
The geophysical investigations were conducted at the request of Allen Cooper, archeologist with the Philadelphia Support Office. These investigations were to provide information on three separate areas within the boundaries of the Booker T. Washington National Monument: the Burroughs cemetery area, the Sparks cemetery, and the historic slave quarters core area. The methodology for the magnetic and resistance surveys is similar to that utilized at Fort Laramie. The present investigations...
Geophysical Methods at the Hollister Site: Summary of Finds (2018)
Geophysical methods in archaeology are increasingly integrated into traditional archaeological surveys. Remote sensing is valuable because it allows for large areas to be surveyed relatively quickly and noninvasively. At the Hollister site in South Glastonbury, Connecticut, magnetometry and ground-penetrating radar, were implemented over a 140x140 meter area. Magnetometry measures alterations to earth’s magnetic field. This method is helpful for identifying a number of artifacts and features,...
Geophysical Remote Sensing at the Colonial National Historical Park: Findings of the June 1995 Course (1995)
NPS course at the Colonial NHP that was coordinated by Jane Sunberg (NPS), Andrew Edwards (Colonial Williamsburg).
A Geophysical Search for the Widow Tapp Farm House (1989)
Magnetic, conductivity, and radar surveys all locate a complex area that appears to mark the remains of the house. Survey for A. Wilson Greene and Dave Orr (NPS),
Geophysical Survey and Phase II Archaeological Evaluations of Site 46KA681, Charleston, Kanawha County, West Virginia (2018)
In mid-2017, CRA personnel conducted a geophysical survey and Phase II archaeological excavations on a tract of land adjacent to the Elk River in Charleston, Kanawha County, West Virginia. The property is the location of Site 46KA681, which is a multicomponent site that includes evidence of both prehistoric and historic occupations. The prehistoric component consists of a small habitation site of unknown cultural or temporal affiliation, while the historic component dates to as early as the...
