Archaeological Geophysics Lab
Archaeological geophysics is the application of remote sensing methods such as ground-penetrating radar, magnetometry, electrical resistivity, and conductivity, to solve archaeological 问题. These methods utilize instruments that measure various properties of soil, rock, and 埋 archaeological features. 他们 是 useful for locating and studying 考古遗址 ranging from the small campsites of hunter gatherers to sprawling ancient cities. The instruments 是 carried or dragged above or at the ground surface, or utilize probes inserted into the ground. These methods 是 remarkable because they map 埋 features such as walls, hearths, burials, streets, dwellings, and other aspects of 考古遗址, without the expense of excavation. Subsequent excavations, if needed 为了研究目的, 是 targeted to specific features identified in the geophysics data.

仪器
The archaeological geophysics lab at UNC includes the following instruments:
- Hand-carried fluxgate magnetometer
- Cart-mounted, GPS-integrated fluxgate magnetometer array
- Ground-penetrating radar system with a full range of antennas
- 电阻计
- Conductivity/magnetic susceptibility meter
- Base/rover GPS, and hand-held GPS system
- 全站仪
- Mavic Pro 2无人机
学生 receive training in the use of these instruments both in the classroom and 这个领域. Past research projects include studies of sites in 科罗拉多州, New Mexico, 以色列，巴勒斯坦和伊拉克.
