Analysing the Velocity of Ground Penetrating Radar Waves: A Case Study from Koekelare (Belgium)
1st Workshop on Remote Sensing for Archaeology & Cultural Heritage Management
Rome, 4 pages, Sept.- Oct. 2008

When conducting a ground-penetrating radar (GPR) survey, initially only the two-way travel time of the electromagnetic waves is available. Knowing the propagation velocity of the waves in the ground is crucial for determining the depth of the archaeological features. There are several ways to determine the velocity. Four methods were compared at the site of Koekelare (Belgium).
Geophysical Survey in Archaeological Field Evaluation
English Heritage V1.5, 60 Pages 2008
By: Andrew David, Neil Linford, Paul Linford
These guidelines are intended to help archaeologists, particularly curators, consultants and project managers, to better understand and engage with the techniques of geophysical survey, for the best results. It is hoped too that practitioners of geophysical survey will find them helpful and that, altogether, the guidance can contribute to raising the consistency and quality of geophysical survey in archaeological field evaluation.
GPR – Trends, History, and Future Developments
Proceedings of the EAGE 2001 Conference
Delft, Netherlands, June 11-15, 2001
By: A. P. Annan
Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a relatively new geophysical technique. The last decade has seen major advances and there is an overall sense of the technology reaching a level of maturity. The history of GPR is intertwined with the diverse applications of the technique. GPR has the most extensive set of applications of any geophysical technique. As a result, the spatial scales of applications and the diversity of instrument configurations are extensive. Both the value and the limitations of the method are better understood in the global user community. The goal of this paper is to provide a brief history of the method, a discussion of current trends and give a sense of future developments.
What Lies Beneath: Modern Technologies
Revamp Underground Investigations
CE News February 2005, p. 30-33
By: Jean Childers, ATM-B
Advances in remote sensing technologies, namely ground penetrating imaging radar (GPiR) and electromagnetometry (EM), have created invaluable solutions for engineering and construction. They are useful for sensing and mapping underground conditions, detecting underground objects, and differentiating between man-made and natural components and conditions.
