Geophysical Studies at Kirtland Air Force Base Proposed Plan for Archaeological Ground Truthing

Author(s): James T. Abbott; Lori E. Rhodes

Year: 1995

Summary

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 usefulness on different types of sites and features present on the base.
