Geophysical Resistance Surveys at the Elkhorn Tavern and Leetown Locations within Pea Ridge National Military Park, Pea Ridge, Arkansas (2003)
DOCUMENT Full-Text William V. Volf.

Between March 26 and March 30, the author directed resistance geophysical surveys at the Elkhorn Tavern and the LeetolNI1 site within Pea Ridge National Military Park, Arkansas (PERI). The research was performed as part of a broader inventory of the cultural resources of PERI. The goal of the resistance surveys at PERI was to attempt to locate various structural elements and features of the properties that relate to the Civil War era in a non-destructive manner. At each surveyed area, soil...

Geophysical Studies at Kirtland Air Force Base Proposed Plan for Archaeological Ground Truthing (1995)
DOCUMENT Full-Text James T. Abbott. Lori E. Rhodes.

This report presents the results of a geophysical study of five sites on KAFB. The objectives for the geophysical study were two fold: (1) to explore the effectiveness of near surface geophysical techniques for verifying the presence and nature of architectural and other cultural features and (2) to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of each of the four remote sensing techniques being employed--resistivity, gradiometer, magnetometer, and ground penetrating radar (GPR)--by assessing their...
