Geophysical Survey (Investigation Type)
Investigations that rely on ground-based instrument sensing techniques to create images and/or maps for archaeological research (e.g. magnetometry, resistivity, or ground penetrating radar).
301-325 (675 Records)
Radar, magnetic, and resistivity survey on the Brandywine Battlefield may have located lenses of debris. Survey for: Stephen G. Warfel (State Museum of Pennsylvania).
A Geophysical Survey at the Griswold Point Shipwreck (1994)
Radar and magnetic exploration of the part of a shipwreck that is buried under a sandy shore. Survey for John Pfeiffer (Pfeiffer Archaeological Consultants).

A radar and resistivity survey in Rhode Island for Pierre Morenon (Rhode Island College).
A Geophysical Survey at The Mount in Lenox, Massachusetts (1999)
Radar and resistivity surveys were both excellent for tracing now-buried paths at Edith Wharton's home. Survey for Martha Pinello (Antrim, New Hampshire) and Edith Wharton Restoration.
A GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY AT THE NEWMAN STREET SITE (1985)
Radar and conductivity surveys were made for Joe Dent (Historic Annapolis).
A Geophysical Survey at the Plains Cemeteries (1986)
Magnetic and radar surveys locate some unmarked graves but miss others at this historic cemetery in Maryland. Survey for William Dulin (Chevy Chase, Maryland).
A Geophysical survey at the Salem Maritime National Historic Site (1990)
Radar, conductivity, and resistivity surveys do not appear to have aided the archaeological study of several properties here. Survey for Michael L. Alterman (Louis Berger).
A Geophysical Survey at the Shaker Cemetery (1985)
Radar and conductivity surveys both detect shallow graves in this Shaker cemetery in Ohio. Survey for Joel Grossman (Greenhouse Consultants).

Radar and resistivity surveys for Martha Pinello (Strawbery Banke Museum).
A geophysical survey at the site of Fort Duquesne (2005)
Radar and conductivity surveys find recent structures buried near the fort. Survey for Brooke Blades (A. D. Marble),
A GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY AT THE SITE OF GRACE EPISCOPAL CHURCH (1984)
Search for unmarked graves in Philadelphia for Michael Parrington and Daniel Roberts (John Milner Associates). Neither the radar nor conductivity survey was helpful.
A Geophysical Survey at the St. George Tucker House (1995)
Radar, resistivity, and magnetic survey around a house in Williamsburg for Andrew Edwards (Colonial Williamsburg Foundation).
A Geophysical Survey at the Stanton House (1986)
Radar, magnetic, and conductivity were each found to be excellent surveys for the exploration of the area around the Elizabeth Cady Stanton House. Survey for Dick Ping Hsu (NPS).
A Geophysical Survey at the Strangers' Cemetery, Old Salem (1994)
Exploration for unmarked graves below a building and outside in Old Salem. Survey for Leland Ferguson (Univ. of S. Carolina).
A Geophysical Survey at the Thomas Stone House (1987)
Radar and magnetic surveys appear to have located natural features, but perhaps fewer cultural features. Survey for David Orr (NPS).
A Geophysical Survey at the Tindall-Pearson Site (1983)
A radar, resistivity, and magnetic survey at this historic site for Bob Foss (Louis Berger).
A Geophysical Survey at the Watt House, Richmond National Battlefield (1999)
Neither the radar nor the magnetic survey could locate the brick pavement that excavation later unearthed. Survey also at the Garthright house, for Allen H. Cooper (NPS),
Geophysical Survey at the Wentworth-Coolidge Mansion (1992)
Resistivity, conductivity, and radar surveys around an historical mansion. Survey for Martha Pinello (Strawbery Banke Museum).
A Geophysical Survey at the West House, Richmond National Battlefield (2001)
Magnetic, conductivity, radar, and resistivity surveys locate features that appear to be buried buildings, but all appear to be natural features. Survey for Benjamin Ford (Rivanna Archaeological Consulting).
A Geophysical Survey at the Wheelright House, Strawbery Banke (1991)
Resistivity, magnetic, and radar surveys were done in Strawbery Banke. Survey for Martha Pinello (Strawbery Banke Museum).
A Geophysical Survey at the Willow Creek Locality, Blue Earth Valley, Minnesota (1982)
A survey of this prehistoric site for Orrin C. Shane, III (Science Museum of Minnesota) using magnetic and resistivity instruments.
A Geophysical Survey at the Young Site (18cv344) (1998)
Radar and conductivity survey for L. Daniel Myers (Epochs Past).
A Geophysical Survey at Trinity Cemetery (1993)
Soil salinity harmed a radar survey and electrical interference harmed a conductivity survey. Survey for William Roberts (Greenhouse Consultants).
A Geophysical Survey of College Yard (2004)
The conductivity survey at the College of William and Mary was strongly-affected by buried pipes, but that survey and the radar detected unusual features there. Survey for College of William and Mary,
A Geophysical Survey of Fort St. Joseph (20BE23), Niles, Michigan (2008)
Fort St. Joseph is a 17th-18th century French (and later English) mission-garrison-trading post complex located in southwest Michigan. A geophysical survey was performed and the results of the survey were tested through archaeological excavation. The geophysical methods included ground penetrating radar, electromagnetic induction, electrical resistivity, magnetic gradiometry, and magnetic susceptibility. The results of the archaeological excavations demonstrate that magnetic gradiometry was the...
