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).
526-550 (672 Records)
Photographs are one of the few remaining ways to examine the now inundated archaeological sites in the DAP. Photographic images add context to specific aspects of Anasazi life in the DAP area; in a sense, DAP photography "provides the investigator with ways to understand the spatial integration of households and communities" (Wilshusen et al. 1999:115). Only a fraction of all photographs taken during the project can be found in the published series of DAP reports. Individuals wishing to access...

Pioneer Family Cemeteries at Scott Air Force Base, St. Clair County, Illinois (1995)
During the Summer and Fall of 1994, the National Park Service conducted archaeological and geophysical investigations of the Middlecoff and Perschbacher pioneer family cemeteries located at Scott Air Force Base, St. Clair County, Illinois. The investigations included the use of geophysical techniques (i.e., magnetometer, electrical resistivity, electromagnetic conductivity, and ground penetrating radar), archival research, and interviews with descendants of the families buried at the...
Playa Archaeology - Archaeological Investigations at Reese Air Force Base and Terry County Auxiliary Airfield, Lubbock and Terry Counties (1995)
A cultural resource survey was requested for portions of Reese Air Force Base near Lubbock, Texas to determine the presence, if any, of archaeological sites within the base properties. This survey located one heavily-impacted aboriginal-Historic site (41LU111) but failed to address the uplands between playa basins that are generally considered as high probability locations for prehistoric campsites. This survey led to the location of three aboriginal campsites (41TY113, 41TY114, and 41TY115) at...

Prospects for Detection of Ephemeral Historic Sod Structures Using Geophysical Techniques in Custer County, Nebraska (2015)
Sod houses represent one form of ephemeral historic structure that became common to portions of the Great Plains as a result of the Homestead Act of 1862. Since their construction in the late 1800s and early 1900s, sod house and out buildings have either been preserved, allowed to "melt," deliberately removed and put under cultivation. This poster examines the documentation of these structures under various post-occupation conditions through the use of surface level, non-destructive, geophysical...

The Racetrack Project
Between A.D. 1250 and 1450, a large number of ceremonial racetracks were built at and between villages in north-central Arizona. This assemblage began as a relatively dispersed collection, stretching from the Sedona area down to Cave Creek and from the Bradshaw Mountains to the Mazatzal Wilderness. Over time, the racetrack network grew in intensity but became spatially focused atop Perry Mesa, along the middle Agua Fria River. In conjunction with the Legacies on the Landscape Project and...
