Patterns of Burning over Archaeological Sites and Landscapes: Perception and Analysis (Bar British) Alistair Marshall

This volume details the development of a new technique for magnetic susceptibility (MS) surveying, in order to establish a more viable basis for assessing patterns of burnt material over and around clearly defined archaeological structures. It involves the use of a ground-insertable probe in order to combine speed of surrvey, independence from variable and irregular surface conditions, and the ability to measure MS whilst totally immersed in buried sediment and hence in greater proximity to buried archaeological surfaces.
