| | Event: | SSS-08 Ground Penetrating Radar Studies | | Dates: | 5/8 | | Time: | 10:00 to 12:00 | | Category: | Spring2023-SingleSession | | Location: | Zoom Teleconference | | Presenter: | David Leslie, Director of Archaeological Research, Heritage Consultants, LLC | Archaeologists have long recognized the need to accurately image subsurface features (house walls, middens, hearths, grave shafts) to help guide excavation techniques. Several geophysical techniques have been used by archaeologists to remotely image these features prior to excavation with varying success. Recent advances in ground penetrating radar (GPR) technology are now permitting archaeologists to image these features more accurately prior to excavation. During this presentation, we will discuss several different archaeological projects where GPR surveys were successfully implemented throughout the Northeastern United States to provide accurate images and locations of features at historical and pre-colonial Native American sites and cemeteries.
